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.
