| [00:09.72] |
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso |
| [00:13.48] |
I fell in love with a Mexican girl. |
| [00:19.37] |
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina; |
| [00:23.01] |
Music would play and Felina would whirl. |
| [00:29.02] |
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, |
| [00:32.59] |
Wicked and evil while casting a spell. |
| [00:38.34] |
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden; |
| [00:42.09] |
I was in love but in vain, I could tell. |
| [00:48.01] |
One night a wild young cowboy came in, |
| [00:51.19] |
Wild as the West Texas wind. |
| [00:59.71] |
Dashing and daring, |
| [01:01.24] |
A drink he was sharing |
| [01:02.90] |
With wicked Felina, |
| [01:04.06] |
The girl that I loved. |
| [01:06.86] |
So in anger I |
| [01:09.36] |
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden. |
| [01:12.47] |
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. |
| [01:18.20] |
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat; |
| [01:21.46] |
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. |
| [01:27.85] |
Just for a moment I stood there in silence, |
| [01:31.30] |
Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done. |
| [01:37.12] |
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there; |
| [01:40.61] |
I had but one chance and that was to run. |
| [01:46.38] |
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran, |
| [01:49.74] |
Out where the horses were tied. |
| [01:58.42] |
I caught a good one. |
| [01:59.83] |
It looked like it could run. |
| [02:01.86] |
Up on its back |
| [02:03.23] |
And away I did ride, |
| [02:05.50] |
Just as fast as I |
| [02:07.87] |
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso |
| [02:10.93] |
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico. |
| [02:17.17] |
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless. |
| [02:20.32] |
Everything's gone in life; nothing is left. |
| [02:26.21] |
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden |
| [02:29.82] |
My love is stronger than my fear of death. |
| [02:35.64] |
I saddled up and away I did go, |
| [02:39.16] |
Riding alone in the dark. |
| [02:44.00] |
Maybe tomorrow |
| [02:49.10] |
A bullet may find me. |
| [02:50.66] |
Tonight nothing's worse than this |
| [02:54.86] |
Pain in my heart. |
| [02:55.51] |
And at last here I |
| [02:57.40] |
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso; |
| [03:00.22] |
I can see Rosa's cantina below. |
| [03:06.26] |
My love is strong and it pushes me onward. |
| [03:09.16] |
Down off the hill to Felina I go. |
| [03:15.60] |
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys; |
| [03:19.03] |
Off to my left ride a dozen or more. |
| [03:24.80] |
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me. |
| [03:28.28] |
I have to make it to Rosa's back door. |
| [03:34.09] |
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel |
| [03:37.39] |
A deep burning pain in my side. |
| [03:46.12] |
Though I am trying |
| [03:47.33] |
To stay in the saddle, |
| [03:49.35] |
I'm getting weary, |
| [03:50.74] |
Unable to ride. |
| [03:53.24] |
But my love for |
| [03:55.22] |
Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen, |
| [03:58.64] |
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest. |
| [04:04.81] |
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle. |
| [04:08.08] |
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. |
| [04:14.14] |
From out of nowhere Felina has found me, |
| [04:17.49] |
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. |
| [04:23.13] |
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, |
| [04:26.80] |
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye. |
| [04:37.15] |
