Out in the west texas town of el paso i fell in love with a mexican girl. | |
Nighttime would fine me in rose's cantina, | |
Music would play and felina would whirl. | |
Black as the night were the eyes of felina, | |
Wicked and evil while casting a spell. | |
My love was strong for this mexican maiden, | |
I was in love, but in vain i could tell. | |
One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the west texas wind... | |
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, | |
With wicked felina, the girl that i love. | |
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. | |
Just for a moment i stood there in silence, | |
Shocked by the foul evil deed i had done. | |
Many thoughts ran through my mind as i stood there; | |
I had but one chance and that was to run. | |
Out through the back door of rose's i ran, out where the horses were tied... | |
I picked a good one; he looked like he could run, | |
Up on his back and away i did ride. | |
Just as fast as i could from the west texas town of el paso, | |
Out thru the badlands of new mexico. | |
Back in el paso my life would be worthless; | |
Everything's gone in life nothing is left. | |
But it's been so long since i've seen the young maiden, | |
My love is stronger that my fear of death. | |
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 as last here i am on the hill overlooking el paso, | |
I can see rose's cantina below. | |
My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to felina i go. | |
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've got to make it to rose's back door. | |
Something is dreadfully wrong for i feel a deep burning pain in my | |
It's getting harder 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 good-bye. |
