[00:00:00] Ava Maria Morales - Marty Robbins

[00:00:00] Written by：Marty Robbins

[00:00:12] A long time ago in the small border town of Nogales

[00:00:20] There lived a beautiful Mexican girl

[00:00:24] Named Ava Maria Morales

[00:00:28] Her dark hair would glisten and shine

[00:00:31] When touched by the sun

[00:00:36] And she loved a cowboy that told her

[00:00:40] He worked on a ranch just outside of Tucson

[00:00:47] Diamonds he gave to her caused many people to say

[00:00:55] How could he give her such diamonds

[00:00:58] As these on thirty a month cowboy pay

[00:01:03] She paid no attention to what they said or what they did

[00:01:11] Cause she never doubted he worked

[00:01:14] On a ranch out of Tucson just like he said

[00:01:22] Then to Nogales one morning came riding a stranger

[00:01:30] He wore a badge on the front of his vest

[00:01:34] The new one in town was a ranger

[00:01:38] And he showed some pictures of outlaws

[00:01:41] And bandits he chased

[00:01:46] And one of the pictures caused

[00:01:49] Ava Maria to turn with fear on her face

[00:01:56] Ava Maria it's true what they said

[00:02:04] Your cowboy's an outlaw with a price on his head

[00:02:13] The ranger left town on the trail of the outlaws he hunted

[00:02:22] Ava Maria prayed he'd never catch the cowboy

[00:02:27] She loved and she wanted

[00:02:30] Cause deep in her heart she believed

[00:02:33] That the ranger was wrong

[00:02:38] The outlaw just looked like the cowboy

[00:02:41] That worked on the ranch just outside of Tucson

[00:02:48] True love would never let Ava Maria believe it

[00:02:56] And there in her window each evening

[00:02:59] She'd light a candle and hope he would see it

[00:03:04] The years turned her dark hair to silver

[00:03:08] But love still lived on

[00:03:12] She prayed every night for the cowboy

[00:03:16] That worked on the ranch just outside of Tucson

[00:03:23] One night the town of Nogales was saddened to see

[00:03:31] The window where Ava Maria

[00:03:34] Would watch was dark where a light used to be

[00:03:39] Some love stories live for awhile and then they are gone

[00:03:47] For over a century the story of Ava Maria

[00:03:52] Has lived on and on

[00:03:57] Ava Maria it's your spirit lives on

[00:04:05] I hope you have found him at the ranch just outside of Tucson
