Oh Laredo
(lyrics and chord diagrams follow, chord progression remains the same)
Make her think about the moonlit walks and
the long, long talks by the water's edge
With her feet hanging of the Cane Creek bridge
And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
at the old town square
when she drives down there
Cause that's a day she said she could never forget
Keep the nights by the candlelight as an ace in the hole
'Cause those are nights of passion
that I know will bring her home
Oh Lardeo, don't let her go
Just take her by the heart
And let the wheels turn slow
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope
So take her back to the day we met
cause thats as far as she needs to get
oh but please don't let her go
Oh Laredo
Oh Lardeo, don't let her go
Just take her by the heart
And let the wheels turn slow
Oh Lardeo, you're my only hope
So take her back to the day we met
cause thats as far as she needs to get
oh but please don't let her go
Oh Laredo
