Paroles
0:00Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
0:01I fell in love with a Mexican girl
0:04Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina
0:05Music would play and Felina would whirl
0:06Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
0:07Wicked and evil while casting a spell
0:08My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
0:09I was in love but in vain I could tell
0:11One night a wild young cowboy came in
0:12Wild as the West Texas wind
0:21Dashing and daring
0:22A drink he was sharing
0:22With wicked Felina
0:23The girl that I loved
0:24So in anger I
0:25Challenged his right for the love of this maiden
0:26Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
0:27My challenge was answered in less than a heart beat
0:28The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
0:29Just for a moment I stood there in silence
0:39Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done
0:40Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
0:41I had but one chance and that was to run
0:42Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
0:43Out where the horses were tied
0:44I caught a good one
0:45It looked like it could run
0:45Up on its back
0:46And away I did ride
0:46Just as fast as I
0:47Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
0:48Out to the bad lands of New Mexico
0:50Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
0:51Everything's gone in life nothing is left
0:52It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
0:53My love is stronger than my fear of death
0:55I saddled up and away I did go
1:50Riding alone in the dark
1:51Maybe tomorrow
1:51A bullet may find me
1:54Tonight nothing's worse than this
1:54Pain in my heart
1:55And at last here I
1:55Am on the hill overlooking El Paso
1:57I can see Rosa's cantina below
1:58My love is strong and it pushes me onward
2:00Down off the hill to Felina I go
2:02Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
2:03Off to my left ride a dozen or more
2:04Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
2:05I have to make it to Rosa's back door
2:15Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
2:26A deep burning pain in my side
2:27Though I am trying
2:28To stay in the saddle
2:28I'm getting weary
2:29Unable to ride
2:29But my love for
2:30Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
2:31Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
2:32I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
2:33I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
2:42From out of nowhere Felina has found me
2:43Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
2:44Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
2:49One little kiss and Felina good bye
