Laurita Garza

On the banks of the Rio Grande
In a hidden hacienda
Laurita killed her boyfriend
Because he no longer loved her
He was going to marry another
Just because he could

They found two dead bodies
At the back of a plot
One was Emilio Guerra
Estela's fiancé
And the other was Laura Garza
The schoolteacher

The last time they saw each other
She sent for him
My dearest love
You cannot marry
You said you loved me
That it was just a matter of waiting

I only came to say goodbye
Emilio replied
I have my girlfriend promised
My love for you is over
Let this be a lesson
For what you're going through this time

You can't do this to me
What will my family think
You can't abandon me
After I gave you my life
Don't say you don't love me
Like you used to

They didn't know she was armed
And her death was very close
From the pocket of her coat
She pulled out a short gun
With it she shot him six times
Then Laurita killed herself
