El Paso |
| Out in the West Texas town of El Paso |
| I fell in love with a Mexican girl |
| Night-time would find me in Rosa’s Cantina |
| Music would play and Felina would whirl |
| One night a wild young cowboy came in |
| Wild as the West Texas wind |
| Dancing and daring, a drink he was sharing |
| With wicked Falina, the girl that I loved |
| So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden |
| Down went his hand for the gun that he wore |
| My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat |
| The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor |
| Out through the back door of Rosa’s I ran |
| Out where the horses were tied |
| I caught a good one, it looked like it could run |
| Up on its back and away I did ride |
| Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso |
| Out to the badlands of New Mexico |
| I saddled up and away I did go |
| Riding alone in the dark |
| Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me |
| Tonight nothing’s worse than this pain in my heart |
| And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso |
| I can see Rosa’s Cantina below |
| Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys |
| Off to my left ride a dozen or more |
| Shouting and shooting, I can’t let them catch me |
| I have to make it to Rosa’s back door |
| Something is dreadfully wrong for I fear |
| A deep burning pain in my side |
| Though I am trying to stay in the saddle |
| I’m getting weary, unable to ride |
| But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I’ve fallen |
| Though I am weary I can’t stop to rest |
| I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle |
| I feel the bullet go deep in my chest |
| From out of nowhere Felina has found me |
| Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side |
| Cradled by two loving arms that I’ll die for |
| One little kiss and Felina goodbye |
