"The Cisco Kid," badmen knew his name.
His gun was feared by those who played a lawless game.
His fists were fast, furious and hard as steel.
His stare was deep, dark and made badmen reel.
With his trusted companion Pancho by his side.
On his steed Diablo he would ride.
He fought the injustice and persecution of the innocent and the poor.
His goal was to see that they would suffer no more.
"The Robin Hood of the Range," he was called by his friends.
Their devotion to him would reach no end.
He was a true Mexican Caballero he knew it from the start.
Oh! how his people loved him and felt it in their heart.
When women met him their heart would skip a beat."You are the most beautiful senorita in the whole world, on my heart I swear it" said he, and they would swoon at his feet.
The Southwest Range Cisco and Pancho would ride.
Seeking badmen, nowhere could they hide.
"Lez went to Mama Maria's to eat some tortillas, chile and frijoles" Pancho would say.
"Stop thinking about your stomach Panchito" said Cisco this wanted poster says we have a job to do today.
To Cactus Wells they rode into the night.
Panchito; said Cisco looks like we're in for a big fight.
"Trouble.... Trouble, here comes Pancho."
Riding hard on the dusty trail it was their duty to go.
On the trail Cisco's thoughts were of Tonia his beautiful girl.
The love he left behind with her long flowing curls.
The Sun was setting and on it's way down.
It was cold and dark when they rode into town.
The moon was peering thru the dark black sky.
They were unsure if tonight someone would die.
To the Saloon hitching post Diablo and Loco they tied.
The Saloon was rowdy and bustling with loud music inside.
Walking thru the swinging doors they were bold.
Looking for the badman on the wanted poster of which they were told.
"Mexican Banditos!!", some shouted of course.
Cisco said we're on the side of the law on the trail of a rustler who stole a horse.
Cisco recognized the horse thief on sight.
"I'm the man your looking for said the rustler, now your in for a fight."
The rustler drew his gun; his shot hit the Saloon door.
Cisco shot back and the wounded badman fell to the floor.
Now get up Senor, said Pancho and start walking.
Give me your gun or my pistola will finish the talking.
To the Marshal's office said Cisco your going to jail.
You're a horsethief and for that, there is no bail.
Good job said the Marshal as he locked the jail door.
Aren't you The Cisco Kid who fights badmen and helps the supressed and the poor?
Yes Marshal I'm Cisco and this is my amigo Pancho.
Let's go Panchito it's time we return to the rancho.
Wait Cisco said the Marshal, here's the reward for the capture of this Hombre.
Send it to the Sonora Mission said Cisco, care of the Padre.
Lez went Cisco! Said Pancho.
Oh Cisco!~~~~~~Oh Pancho!
Goodby amigos!~~~~~~See you soon, ha! ha!
