I crossed the great hot desert in search of water

Dreaming of a maiden old Pedro’s daughter

The woman that I love and heaven knows

If I will ever hold dear my sweet cactus rose

I’ll sneak across the border just south of Rio

Knowing I must hide from a gunman they call Reno

He craves the woman I love and heaven only knows

If I will ever hold dear my sweet cactus rose

By the chapel she waits for me

In the shadow her eyes do not see

A man tormented by lust

Thinking killing me is just

To steal the woman I love and heaven only knows

If I will ever hold dear my sweet cactus rose

By the chapel she waits for me

In the shadow her eyes do not see

A man tormented by lust

Thinking killing me is just

To steal the woman I love and heaven only knows

If I will ever hold dear my sweet cactus rose

This night I face the gunman for the love of a woman

Knowing one man will die a shot rang out when Rose ran

The woman that I love and heaven only knows

If I will ever hold dear my sweet cactus rose

My sweet cactus rose
