Out in the west Texas town of El Paso [00:00:12]

I fell in love with a Mexican girl [00:00:16]

Night time would find me in Rosa's Cantina [00:00:21]

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

Blacker than night were the eyes of Feleena [00:00:29]

Wicked and evil while casting a spell [00:00:32]

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden [00:00:37]

I was in love but in vain I could tell [00:00:40]

One night a wild young cowboy came in [00:00:45]

Wild as the west Texas wind [00:00:49]

Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing [00:00:56]

With wicked Feleena the girl that I loved [00:00:59]

So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden [00:01:02]

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore [00:01:07]

My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat [00:01:13]

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor [00:01:16]

Just for a moment I stood there in silence [00:01:21]

Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done [00:01:24]

Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there [00:01:29]

I had but one chance and that was to run [00:01:32]

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran [00:01:37]

Out where the horses were tied [00:01:40]

I caught a good one it looked like it could run [00:01:48]

Up on its back and away I did ride [00:01:51]

Just as fast as I could from the west Texas town of El Paso [00:01:54]

Out to the badlands of New Mexico [00:01:59]

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless [00:02:04]

Everything's gone in life nothing is left [00:02:07]

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden [00:02:12]

My love is stronger than my fear of death [00:02:15]

I saddled up and away I did go [00:02:21]

Riding alone in the dark [00:02:23]

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me [00:02:31]

Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart [00:02:34]

And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso [00:02:37]

I can see Rosa's Cantina below [00:02:42]

My love is strong and it pushes me onward [00:02:48]

Down off the hill to Feleena I go [00:02:50]

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys [00:02:56]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more [00:02:59]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me [00:03:04]

I have to make it to Rosa's back door [00:03:07]

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel [00:03:12]

A deep burning pain in my side [00:03:15]

Though I am trying to stay in the saddle [00:03:22]

I'm getting weary unable to ride [00:03:25]

But my love for Feleena is strong [00:03:29]

And I rise where I've fallen [00:03:32]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest [00:03:34]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle [00:03:39]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest [00:03:42]

From out of nowhere Feleena has found me [00:03:47]

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side [00:03:50]

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for [00:03:55]

One little kiss then Feleena goodbye [00:03:59]
