El Paso (Live at Fillmore East New York City April 1971) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso[00:00:08]

I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:12]

Nighttime would find me in Rose's cantina[00:00:18]

Music would play and Felina would whirl[00:00:22]

Black as the night were the eyes of Felina[00:00:29]

Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:33]

My love was strong for this Mexican maiden[00:00:39]

I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:43]

One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:49]

Wild as the west Texas wind[00:00:53]

Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:01:03]

With wicked Felina the girl that I love[00:01:06]

So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden[00:01:11]

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:17]

My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:23]

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:27]

Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:33]

Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:37]

Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there[00:01:43]

I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:47]

Out through the back door of roses I ran[00:01:53]

Out where the horses were tied[00:01:57]

I picked a good one it looked like he could run[00:02:06]

Up on his back and away I did ride[00:02:10]

Just as fast as I could from the west Texas town of El Paso[00:02:14]

Out through the badlands of new Mexico[00:02:21]

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:02:27]

Everything is gone in life nothing is left[00:02:30]

But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:37]

My love is stronger that my fear of death[00:02:41]

I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark[00:02:47]

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:03:00]

Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart[00:03:03]

But at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:03:07]

I can see Rose's cantina below[00:03:14]

My love is strong and it pushes me onward[00:03:20]

Down off the hill to Felina I go[00:03:23]

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:29]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:33]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:39]

I've got to make it to Rose's back door[00:03:43]

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:49]

A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:53]

It's getting harder to stay in the saddle[00:04:02]

I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:04:06]

But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen[00:04:10]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:04:16]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:04:21]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:26]

From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:04:32]

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:04:36]

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:42]

One little kiss and Felina goodbye[00:04:46]
