Out in the West texas town of el paso
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a mexican girl
I fell in love with a mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in rosa's cantina
Nighttime would find me in rosa's cantina
Music would play and feleena would whirl
Music would play and feleena would whirl
Blacker than night were the eyes of feleena
Blacker than night were the eyes of feleena
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
My love was deep for this mexican maiden
My love was deep for this mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain, i could tell
I was in love, but in vain, i could tell
One night, a wild young cowboy came in
One night, a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West texas wind
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked feleena, the girl that i loved
With wicked feleena, the girl that i loved
So in anger, i challenged his right for the love of this maiden
So in anger, i challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Just for a moment i stood there in silence
Just for a moment i stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul evil deed i had done
Shocked by the foul evil deed i had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as i stood there
Many thoughts raced through my mind as i stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run
I had but one chance and that was to run
Out through the back door of rosa's i ran
Out through the back door of rosa's i ran
Out where the horses were tied
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back, and away i did ride
Up on its back, and away i did ride
Just as fast as i could from the West texas town of el paso
Just as fast as i could from the West texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of new mexico
Out to the badlands of new mexico
Back in el paso, my life would be worthless
Back in the step, my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life, nothing is left
Everything's gone in life, nothing is left
It's been so long since i've seen the young maiden
It's been so long since i've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death
My love is stronger than my fear of death
I saddled up and away i did go
I saddled up and away i did go
Riding alone in the dark
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow, a bullet may find me
Maybe tomorrow, a bullet may find me
Tonight, nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
Tonight, nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
And at last here i am on the hill overlooking el paso
And at last here i am on the hill overlooking el paso
I can see rosa's cantina below
I can see rosa's cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to feleena i go
Down off the hill to feleena i go
Off to my right, i see five mounted cowboys
Off to my right, i see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting, i can't let them catch me
Shouting and shooting, i can't let them catch me
I have to make it to rosa's back door
I have to make it to rosa's back door
Something is dreadfully wrong, for i feel
Something is dreadfully wrong, for i feel
A deep burning pain in my side
A deep burning pain in my side
Though i am trying to stay in the saddle
Though i am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride
I'm getting weary, unable to ride
But my love for feleena is strong and i rise where i've fallen
But my love for feleena is strong and i rise where i've fallen
Though i am weary, i can't stop to rest
Though i am weary, i can't stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
From out of nowhere, feleena has found me
From out of nowhere, feleena has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that i'll die for
Cradled by two loving arms that i'll die for
One little kiss and feleena, goodbye
One little kiss and feleena, goodbye
