Laurita Garza

On the banks of the Rio Grande
In a hidden hacienda
Laurita killed her boyfriend
Because he no longer loved her
And was going to marry another
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 can't marry!
Didn't you say you loved me?
That it was just a matter of waiting

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

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

She didn't know she was armed
And her death was 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
