A Bullet for Ramona Lyrics by Warren Zevon

Wanted Dead Or Alive

0

[Chorus]
Oh, today I shot Ramona, Ma
She ain't gonna cheat on me
Two years, I've been searchin' for her
Two years, she's been free
[Verse 1]
Well, I found her in a dance hall in Laredo
And she told me that she wanted only me
And I held her in my arms the way I used to
But when morning came, she begged me to set her free
[Chorus]
Oh, today I shot Ramona, Ma
She ain't gonna cheat on me
Two years, I've been searchin' for her
Two years, she's been free
[Verse 2]
Well, I tried and tried to ride away and leave her
With my head hung low, teardrops filled my eye
I rode back to town and found her with a drifter
And I knew right then Ramona had to die
[Chorus]
Oh, today I shot Ramona, Ma
She ain't gonna cheat on me
Two years, I've been searchin' for her
Two years, she's been free
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm writing you this letter from Laredo
And tonight, I'll ride across the Rio Grande
If I never live to see another sunrise
You know, I loved her, Ma, I hope you understand
[Chorus]
Oh, today I shot Ramona, Ma
She ain't gonna cheat on me
Two years, I've been searchin' for her
Two years, she's been free
Oh, today I shot Ramona, Ma
She ain't gonna cheat on me
Two years, I've been searchin' for her
Two years, she's been free
