El Paso (Live at Wembley Empire Pool April 1972) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso[00:00:25]

I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:28]

Nighttime would find me in Rose's cantina[00:00:34]

Music would play and Felina would whirl[00:00:37]

Black as the night were the eyes of Felina[00:00:43]

Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:46]

My love was strong for this Mexican maiden[00:00:52]

I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:55]

One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:01:01]

Wild as the west Texas wind[00:01:04]

Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:01:13]

With wicked Felina the girl that I love[00:01:16]

So in anger[00:01:20]

I challenged his right[00:01:22]

For the love of this maiden[00:01:23]

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:25]

My challenge was answered[00:01:30]

In less than a heartbeat[00:01:32]

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:34]

Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:40]

Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:43]

Many thoughts raced through[00:01:49]

My mind as I stood there[00:01:50]

I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:52]

Out through the back door of roses I ran[00:01:58]

Out where the horses were tied[00:02:01]

I picked a good one [00:02:09]

It looked like he could run[00:02:11]

Up on his back and away I did ride[00:02:13]

Just as fast as[00:02:16]

I could from the west[00:02:18]

Texas town of El Paso[00:02:20]

Out through the badlands of new Mexico[00:02:22]

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

Everything is gone in life nothing is left[00:02:31]

But it's been so long since[00:02:37]

I've seen the young maiden[00:02:38]

My love is stronger that my fear of death[00:02:40]

I saddled up and away I did go [00:02:46]

Riding alone in the dark[00:02:49]

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:58]

Tonight nothing's worse[00:03:01]

Than this pain in my heart[00:03:02]

But at last here[00:03:04]

I am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:03:07]

I can see Rose's cantina below[00:03:10]

My love is strong and it pushes me onward[00:03:16]

Down off the hill to Felina I go[00:03:19]

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:25]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:28]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:34]

I've got to make it to Rose's back door[00:03:38]

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:43]

A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:47]

It's getting harder to stay in the saddle[00:03:56]

I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:59]

But my love for Felina is strong and I rise[00:04:02]

Where I've fallen[00:04:06]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:04:08]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:04:13]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:17]

From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:04:24]

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:04:26]

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:32]

One little kiss and Felina goodbye[00:04:35]
