written by Warren Zevon and P. Evans, c. 1970, United Artists/c. EMI Capitol Music Special Markets, 1996 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
