El Paso (Olympia Theatre Paris France 5/4/1972) (Live)- Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Out in the west texas town of el paso[00:00:13]

I fell in love with a mexican girl[00:00:15]

Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina[00:00:21]

Music would play and felina would whirl[00:00:24]

Black as the night were the eyes of felina[00:00:30]

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[00:00:42]

One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:48]

Wild as the west texas wind[00:00:51]

Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:00:59]

With wicked felina the girl that I love[00:01:02]

So in anger I challenged his right[00:01:06]

For the love of this maiden[00:01:09]

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:11]

My challenge was answered[00:01:17]

In less than a heartbeat[00:01:18]

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:20]

Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:26]

Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:29]

Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there[00:01:35]

I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:38]

Out through the back door of roses I ran[00:01:44]

Out where the horses were tied[00:01:47]

I picked a good one he looked like he could run[00:01:56]

Up on his back and away I did ride[00:01:59]

Just as fast as I could from the west texas town of el paso[00:02:02]

Out thru the badlands of new mexico[00:02:08]

Back in el paso my life would be worthless[00:02:13]

Everythings gone in life nothing is left[00:02:17]

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

My love is stronger that my fear of death[00:02:26]

I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark[00:02:32]

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:44]

Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:46]

And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso[00:02:50]

I can see roses cantina below[00:02:55]

My love is strong[00:03:02]

And it pushes me onward down off the hill to felina I go[00:03:03]

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:10]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:14]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:19]

I've got to make it to roses back door[00:03:23]

Something is dreadfully wrong for like me[00:03:28]

I feel a deep burning pain in my soul[00:03:31]

Do I am trying to stay in the saddle[00:03:40]

I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:43]

But my love for felina is strong[00:03:46]

And I rise where I've fallen[00:03:50]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:03:52]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:03:58]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:01]

From out of nowhere felina has found me[00:04:08]

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:04:11]

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:16]

One little kiss and felina good-bye[00:04:20]
