El Paso (Album Version) - Michael Martin Murphey[00:00:00]
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso[00:00:13]
I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:17]
Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina[00:00:23]
Music would play and Felina would whirl[00:00:27]
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina[00:00:33]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:37]
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden[00:00:43]
I was in love but in vain[00:00:47]
I could tell[00:00:49]
One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:53]
Wild as the West Texas wind[00:00:57]
Dashing and daring[00:01:06]
A drink he was sharing[00:01:08]
With wicked Felina[00:01:10]
The girl that I loved[00:01:11]
So in anger I[00:01:14]
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden[00:01:16]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:20]
My challenge was answered[00:01:26]
In less than a heart beat[00:01:28]
The handsome young stranger[00:01:30]
Lay dead on the floor[00:01:31]
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran[00:01:36]
Out where the horses were tied[00:01:40]
I caught a good one[00:01:49]
It looked like it could run[00:01:51]
Up on it's back[00:01:53]
And away I did ride[00:01:54]
Just as fast as I[00:01:57]
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso[00:01:59]
Out to the bad lands of New Mexico[00:02:03]
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:02:09]
Everything's gone in life nothing is left[00:02:13]
It's been so long[00:02:19]
Since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:21]
My love is stronger than my fear of death[00:02:23]
I saddled up and away I did go[00:02:29]
Riding alone in the dark[00:02:33]
Maybe tomorrow[00:02:42]
A bullet may find me[00:02:44]
Tonight nothing's worse than this[00:02:46]
Pain in my heart[00:02:48]
And at last here I[00:02:50]
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:02:52]
I can see Rosa's cantina below[00:02:56]
My love is strong and pushes me onward[00:03:02]
Down off the hill to Felina I go[00:03:06]
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:12]
Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:16]
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:23]
I have to make it to Rosa's back door[00:03:26]
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:33]
A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:36]
Though I am trying[00:03:45]
To stay in the saddle[00:03:47]
I'm getting weary[00:03:49]
Unable to ride[00:03:50]
But my love for[00:03:53]
Felina is strong I rise where I've fallen[00:03:55]
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:03:59]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:04:06]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:09]
From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:04:16]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:04:19]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:26]
One little kiss and Felina goodbye[00:04:29]
