El Camaron (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

A name long forgotten

And a body long rotten

And blood long dried on the stone

The loss of one's breath

From dancing with death

In the graveyard he once called home

He was just twenty-nine

For him life was fine

Just rambling, living out, living free

Went down to catch a drink

But nobody would ever think

Of such a bloody mess

On the banks of the spring

He was the last man to hang

The last man to swing

The last one for El Camaron

They said he was wild

With the mind of a child

But still they'd want an eye for an eye

It don't forgive what he did

Killing the kid

But two wrongs

Won't make it right

A madman they say

Was born for the grave

And the same can be said for us all

A few men before

Have gone through that door

And now

He'll be the last one to fall

He was the last man to hang

The last one to sway

The last one for El Camaron

No llores mi hermano

Tu cuidas a nuestra madre

Y susurra una oración por mi

Tras un frajo y nos veremos

Me voy al cielo o al infierno

Una caída me hará libre

Maria mi madre

El hijo, y padre

Saca me alma de aqui

Me pondre de rodillas

Suplicar al Señor

Concédeme un poco de paz

El ultimo en colgar

El ultimo columpiar

El ultimo para El Camaron

He was the last man to hang

The last one to swing

The last one for El Camaron
