Eleazar Del Fierro

In 1950, August was rolling on
Eleazar Del Fierro is dead now
The cops took him down

They came from Matamoros
Trying to disarm him
Eleazar had a feeling
They were out to kill him

Eleazar had already said
Before the crowd got wild
"They'll kill me first
Before they take my gun"

Juan Osuna was the name
Of the one who in that dark hour
Shot him down with bullets
From a machine gun's power

Eleazar, seeing he was hit
Just laughed at what had gone down
Cowards like that ain't real men
They should've faced him like a man

Juan knew that by the rules
They couldn't shoot him down
'Cause Eleazar was a man
Who never knew of fear

After the gunfight
From that terrible hour
His soul went to rest
With God's justice in power

Royal eagle, you who flew
Don't tire of your flight
Go tell La Piedra
That Eleazar's been killed
