Laurita Garza

By the banks of the Rio Grande
In a hidden ranch
Laurita killed her boyfriend
Because he no longer loved her
And with a brought marriage
Just because he could

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

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

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

I just came to say goodbye
Emilio replied
I have my girlfriend promised
My love for you is over
Let this be a lesson
From what happened this time

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