El Paso [Live - 8/27/72 Veneta, Oregon[00:00:00]

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso[00:00:20]

I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:23]

Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina[00:00:28]

Music would play and Felina would whirl[00:00:32]

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina[00:00:37]

Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:40]

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden[00:00:45]

I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:48]

One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:54]

Wild as the West Texas wind[00:00:57]

Dashing and daring[00:01:04]

A drink he was sharing[00:01:06]

With wicked Felina[00:01:07]

The girl that I loved[00:01:09]

So in anger I[00:01:11]

Challenged his right for the love of this maiden[00:01:12]

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:16]

My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat[00:01:21]

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:25]

Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:30]

Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:33]

Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there[00:01:39]

I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:42]

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran[00:01:47]

Out where the horses were tied[00:01:50]

I caught a good one[00:01:54]

It looked like it could run[00:01:59]

Up on its back[00:02:01]

And away I did ride[00:02:02]

Just as fast as I[00:02:04]

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso[00:02:07]

Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico[00:02:10]

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:02:15]

Everything's gone in lifenothing is left[00:02:18]

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:23]

My love is stronger than my fear of death[00:02:27]

I saddled up and away I did go[00:02:32]

Riding alone in the dark[00:02:35]

Maybe tomorrow[00:02:43]

A bullet may find me[00:02:44]

Tonight nothing's worse than this[00:02:45]

Pain in my heart[00:02:47]

And at last here I[00:02:49]

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:02:50]

I can see Rosa's cantina below[00:02:54]

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

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

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:08]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:11]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:17]

I have to make it to Rosa's back door[00:03:20]

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:25]

A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:28]

Though I am trying[00:03:36]

To stay in the saddle[00:03:37]

I'm getting weary[00:03:39]

Unable to ride[00:03:40]

But my love for[00:03:42]

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen[00:03:44]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:03:47]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:03:53]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:03:56]

From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:04:02]

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

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:10]

One little kiss and Felina good-bye[00:04:13]
