Houston October 14 1977) - Grateful Dead[00:00:04]
Out in the west texas town of El Paso[00:00:19]
I fell in love with a mexican girl [00:00:22]
Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina [00:00:27]
Music would play and Felina would whirl [00:00:30]
Black as the night were the eyes of felina [00:00:35]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell [00:00:38]
My love was strong for this mexican maiden [00:00:43]
I was in love but in vain I could tell [00:00:46]
One night a wild young cowboy came in [00:00:52]
Wild as the west texas wind [00:00:54]
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing [00:00:57]
With wicked felina the girl that I love [00:01:04]
So in anger I challenged his right[00:01:08]
For the love of this maiden;[00:01:11]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore [00:01:13]
My challenge was answered [00:01:18]
In less than a heartbeat[00:01:20]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor [00:01:21]
Just for a moment I stood there in silence [00:01:26]
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done [00:01:30]
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;[00:01:34]
I had but one chance and that was to run [00:01:37]
Out through the back door of roses I ran [00:01:43]
Out where the horses were tied [00:01:45]
I picked a good one; he looked like he could run [00:01:53]
Up on his back and away I did ride [00:01:56]
Just as fast as I could[00:01:59]
From the west texas town of el paso [00:02:01]
Out thru the badlands of new mexico [00:02:04]
Back in el paso my life would be worthless;[00:02:09]
Everythings gone in life nothing is left [00:02:12]
But it's been so long since[00:02:17]
I've seen the young maiden [00:02:19]
My love is stronger that my fear of death [00:02:21]
I saddled up and away I did go [00:02:25]
Riding alone in the dark [00:02:28]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me [00:02:36]
Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart [00:02:38]
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso [00:02:42]
I can see roses cantina below [00:02:47]
My love is strong and it pushes me onward [00:02:52]
Down off the hill to felina I go [00:02:55]
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys [00:03:00]
Off to my left ride a dozen or more [00:03:03]
Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me [00:03:08]
I've got to make it to roses back door [00:03:11]
Something is dreadfully wrong for[00:03:16]
I feel a deep burning pain in my heart[00:03:18]
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle [00:03:27]
I'm getting weary unable to ride [00:03:29]
But my love for felina is strong[00:03:32]
And I rise where I've fallen;[00:03:35]
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest [00:03:37]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle [00:03:42]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest [00:03:45]
From out of nowhere felina has found me [00:03:51]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side [00:03:53]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for [00:03:58]
One little kiss and felina good-bye[00:04:02]
