El Paso - The Brothers Four[00:00:00]
Out in the west Texan town of El Paso[00:00:09]
I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:12]
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina[00:00:17]
Music would play and Feleena would whirl[00:00:21]
Blacker than night were the eyes of Feleena[00:00:26]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:29]
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden[00:00:34]
I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:38]
One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:43]
Wild as the west Texas wind[00:00:48]
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:00:56]
With wicked Feleena the girl that I loved[00:01:00]
So in danger I challenged[00:01:04]
His right for the love of this maiden[00:01:08]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:10]
My challenege was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:15]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:19]
Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:25]
Shocked by the foul deed I had done[00:01:28]
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there[00:01:34]
I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:37]
Out to the backdoor of Rosa's I ran[00:01:43]
Out where the horses were tied[00:01:48]
I caught a good one it looked like it could run[00:01:56]
Up on its back and away I did ride[00:02:00]
Just as fast as I could[00:02:04]
From the west Texas town of El Paso[00:02:07]
Out to the badlands of New Mexico[00:02:10]
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:02:15]
Everything's gone in life nothing is left[00:02:19]
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:24]
My love is stronger than my fears of death[00:02:28]
I saddled up and away I did go[00:02:33]
Riding alone in the dark[00:02:38]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet would find me[00:02:47]
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:51]
And at last here I am on the hill[00:02:55]
Overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's Cantina below[00:02:59]
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:06]
Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:10]
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:15]
I have to make it to Rosa's backdoor[00:03:19]
Something is dreadfuly wrong for I feel[00:03:24]
A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:30]
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle[00:03:37]
I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:41]
But my love for Feleena is strong and[00:03:45]
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[00:03:57]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:01]
From out of nowhere Feleena has found me[00:04:08]
Kissing my cheeks as she kneels by my side[00:04:12]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:17]
One little kiss then Feleena goodbye[00:04:21]
