The Pomegranate County Irregulars - El Lobo Naranjo Lyrics

The first spring day he rode into town
We were curious but wary
Pistols on his belt, men at his side
A bandit come to life and scary

He said "Good morning" to everyone
With a smile sincere and wide
What a friendly place, drinks on me
For today, I'm on your side

So we sing of a mystery stranger
Who changed so much that day
El Lobo Naranjo
An outlaw people will say

One hard summer he rode into town
We had thrown a fiesta for fun
He stepped so smartly with ev'ry senorita
And he spoke when the dance was done

Mister Mayor, I must be frank
I hear it's not going well
So I rudely stopped a banker's train
Take this money. Please don't tell

So we sing of a mystery stranger
Who changed so much that day
El Lobo Naranjo
An outlaw people will say

El Lobo Naranjo
We'd laugh the wolf was tame
The Old Folks were laughing louder
Silly kids - always the same

Then one autumn, he rode into town
We asked him to toast our good year
He said no thank you, his pistols came out
Now please! Fill these bags here

I live to spread good fortune
For my efforts, I take on the side
May our tomorrows be fruitful
But we live for today. And so, I ride

So we sing of a mystery stranger
Who changed so much that day
El Lobo Naranjo
An outlaw people will say
El Lobo Naranjo
An outlaw people will say

We so love a scoundrel
Who throws money our way
