Pistoleros Famosos
Los Cadetes de Linares
Famous Gunmen
By the banks of the river
From Reynosa to Laredo
The bandits are gone
The rustlers are gone
And this is how they're ending
All the gunmen
Dimas de León fell
Generoso Garza Cano
And the Fierro Brothers
And a few Americans
All the bravest
Have been killed in treachery
Lucio fell in Monterrey
Silvano in the Rio Grande
They were killed in cold blood
By the cowardly Rinches
In the small towns up north
Blood has always been shed
They shot at Ezequiel
Around the year forty
José López in Linares
The count keeps rising
Arturo Garza Treviño
There in the 11-60
The famous gunmen
Don't forget an offense
If they die on the line
They don't care about life
The cemeteries bear witness
It's true, not a lie
This is how they're ending
All the most determined
From here they're remembered
By singing their ballads
They died because they were men
Not because they were bandits
