Ava Maria Morales - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
A long time ago in the small border town of Nogales[00:00:12]
There lived a beautiful Mexican girl[00:00:20]
Named Ava Maria Morales[00:00:24]
Her dark hair would glisten and shine[00:00:28]
When touched by the sun[00:00:31]
And she loved a cowboy that told her[00:00:36]
He worked on a ranch just outside of Tucson[00:00:40]
Diamonds he gave to her caused many people to say[00:00:47]
How could he give her such diamonds[00:00:55]
As these on thirty a month cowboy pay[00:00:58]
She paid no attention to what they said or what they did[00:01:03]
Cause she never doubted he worked[00:01:11]
On a ranch out of Tucson just like he said[00:01:14]
Then to Nogales one morning came riding a stranger[00:01:22]
He wore a badge on the front of his vest[00:01:30]
The new one in town was a ranger[00:01:34]
And he showed some pictures of outlaws[00:01:38]
And bandits he chased[00:01:41]
And one of the pictures caused[00:01:46]
Ava Maria to turn with fear on her face[00:01:49]
Ava Maria it's true what they said[00:01:56]
Your cowboy's an outlaw with a price on his head[00:02:04]
The ranger left town on the trail of the outlaws he hunted[00:02:13]
Ava Maria prayed he'd never catch the cowboy[00:02:22]
She loved and she wanted[00:02:27]
Cause deep in her heart she believed[00:02:30]
That the ranger was wrong[00:02:33]
The outlaw just looked like the cowboy[00:02:38]
That worked on the ranch just outside of Tucson[00:02:41]
True love would never let Ava Maria believe it[00:02:48]
And there in her window each evening[00:02:56]
She'd light a candle and hope he would see it[00:02:59]
The years turned her dark hair to silver[00:03:04]
But love still lived on[00:03:08]
She prayed every night for the cowboy[00:03:12]
That worked on the ranch just outside of Tucson[00:03:16]
One night the town of Nogales was saddened to see[00:03:23]
The window where Ava Maria[00:03:31]
Would watch was dark where a light used to be[00:03:34]
Some love stories live for awhile and then they are gone[00:03:39]
For over a century the story of Ava Maria[00:03:47]
Has lived on and on[00:03:52]
Ava Maria it's your spirit lives on[00:03:57]
I hope you have found him at the ranch just outside of Tucson[00:04:05]
