I've been riding all day long Through the wall of rain In the shadow of the mountains On the barren plains To my angel in the village Where a lamplight glows If the dogs there don't betray me No one will know In the city of the soldier, in the time of war There I met my Angelina, I was 24 We made arrangements soon thereafter Wedding plans were drawn Just beyond the sound of laughter Cannons thundered on When I enlisted in the Army, Angelina cried I whispered to her, "Don't you worry God is on our side." On the battlegrounds before me His plan was soon revealed He guided me to fame and glory On the battlefield Oh ooh the raven flies Oh ooh the coyote cries Juan Miguel Ramos Montoya led his rebels well We fought them through the emerald valley To the sacred hill In the end we were defeated, I was left for dead Juan Montoya took our city, Angelina fled I took to hiding in the mountains, through the wintertime In the spring I rode to safety across the borderline I sent word to Angelina, soon I will return With the full moon in the window, let your lamplight burn From the bluff above her village My hope has turned to fright Only darkness in the windows Not a single light I cursed my God and shook my angry Fists at Him above Twice forsaken, once in war And now in love I've been riding all day long Through the wall of rain In the shadow of the mountains On the barren plains To my angel in the village Where a lamplight glows If the dogs there don't betray me No one will know I ran in rage toward the chapel Stricken by my loss I vowed to leave my lifeless body Upon His Holy Cross But at the altat of the chapel A lonely candle shown Across the face of Angelina Kneeling all alone
