Verse 1:
 Bm                                                            G+G
Isabel and her brown skin shined like a sapphire in the summer sun
               D                                       A augmentedA

      Bm                                                          G+G
They came across our homestead tired and hungry, cold and moving slow

We had fence to build a warm place to stay and they had nowhere to go
            Bm                                                                   G                
So I worked cattle with her father we were stretching wire and driving post all day
              D                                                    A                       
While Isabel worked with my mother and late at night I held her tight and she'd take my breath away

We got a green card for her father Mariano but it came two years too late
             D                                                       A 
We got word that he'd been gunned down in a border town shot in the back
The last thing they heard him say
