La Banda Del Carro Rojo
Los Cadetes de Linares
The Red Car Gang
They say they came from the south
In a red car
They brought a hundred kilos of coke
They were heading to Chicago
That's what the snitch said
Who had reported them.
They had already passed customs
The one by the border
But at the crosses, the rangers
Were waiting for them
They were the Texas rangers
Who command the county.
A siren was crying
And the sergeant was shouting at them
To stop the car
So they could search it
And not to resist
Because if they didn't, they would kill them.
An M-16 emerged
As it broke through the air
The headlight of a patrol car
Was seen flying through the air
That's how that battle began
Where the great massacre took place.
Lino Quintana said
This had to happen
My comrades have died
They won't be able to testify
And I'm sorry, sheriffs
Because I can't sing.
Of the seven who died
Only the crosses remained
Four were from the red car
The other three from the government
Don't worry about them
They'll go to hell with Lino.
They say they were from Cantil
Others say they were from Altar
Many even say
That they came from Parral
The truth was never known
No one came to claim them.
