[00:10.150] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
[00:13.790] I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
[00:19.650] Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
[00:23.910] Music would play and Felina would whirl.
[00:29.290] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
[00:32.800] Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
[00:38.800] My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;
[00:42.110] I was in love but in vain, I could tell.
[00:48.170] One night a wild young cowboy came in,
[00:51.560] Wild as the West Texas wind.
[00:59.830] Dashing and daring,
[01:01.680] A drink he was sharing
[01:03.490] With wicked Felina,
[01:04.740] The girl that I loved.
[01:07.110] So in anger I
[01:09.680] Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.
[01:12.710] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
[01:18.510] My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
[01:22.190] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
[01:28.510] Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
[01:31.550] Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.
[01:37.620] Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
[01:41.020] I had but one chance and that was to run.
[01:46.740] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
[01:50.070] Out where the horses were tied.
[01:58.430] I caught a good one.
[02:00.200] It looked like it could run.
[02:02.400] Up on its back
[02:03.690] And away I did ride,
[02:06.150] Just as fast as I
[02:08.930] Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
[02:11.130] Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.
[02:16.810] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
[02:20.740] Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.
[02:26.070] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
[02:29.770] My love is stronger than my fear of death.
[02:35.910] I saddled up and away I did go,
[02:39.490] Riding alone in the dark.
[02:47.720] Maybe tomorrow
[02:49.560] A bullet may find me.
[02:51.420] Tonight nothing's worse than this
[02:52.690] Pain in my heart.
[02:55.650] And at last here I
[02:57.130] Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
[03:00.550] I can see Rosa's cantina below.
[03:06.510] My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
[03:09.730] Down off the hill to Felina I go.
[03:15.820] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
[03:19.810] Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
[03:25.160] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
[03:28.600] I have to make it to Rosa's back door.
[03:34.500] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
[03:38.530] A deep burning pain in my side.
[03:45.660] Though I am trying
[03:47.830] To stay in the saddle,
[03:50.000] I'm getting weary,
[03:51.240] Unable to ride.
[03:53.820] But my love for
[03:55.640] Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
[03:58.610] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
[04:05.130] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
[04:08.850] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
[04:14.420] From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
[04:17.580] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
[04:23.650] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
[04:27.100] One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.
