Out in the West Texas town of El Paso[00:00:10]

I fell in love with a Mexican girl.[00:00:13]

Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;[00:00:19]

Music would play and Felina would whirl.[00:00:23]

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

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

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;[00:00:38]

I was in love but in vain, I could tell.[00:00:42]

One night a wild young cowboy came in,[00:00:48]

Wild as the West Texas wind.[00:00:51]

Dashing and daring,[00:00:59]

A drink he was sharing[00:01:01]

With wicked Felina,[00:01:03]

The girl that I loved.[00:01:04]

So in anger I[00:01:07]

Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.[00:01:09]

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.[00:01:12]

My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;[00:01:18]

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.[00:01:22]

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,[00:01:28]

Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.[00:01:31]

Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;[00:01:37]

I had but one chance and that was to run.[00:01:41]

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,[00:01:46]

Out where the horses were tied.[00:01:50]

I caught a good one.[00:01:58]

It looked like it could run.[00:02:00]

Up on its back[00:02:02]

And away I did ride,[00:02:03]

Just as fast as I[00:02:06]

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso[00:02:08]

Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.[00:02:11]

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.[00:02:16]

Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.[00:02:20]

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:26]

My love is stronger than my fear of death.[00:02:29]

I saddled up and away I did go,[00:02:35]

Riding alone in the dark.[00:02:39]

Maybe tomorrow[00:02:47]

A bullet may find me.[00:02:49]

Tonight nothing's worse than this[00:02:51]

Pain in my heart.[00:02:52]

And at last here I[00:02:55]

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;[00:02:57]

I can see Rosa's cantina below.[00:03:00]

My love is strong and it pushes me onward.[00:03:06]

Down off the hill to Felina I go.[00:03:09]

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;[00:03:15]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more.[00:03:19]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.[00:03:25]

I have to make it to Rosa's back door.[00:03:28]

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:34]

A deep burning pain in my side.[00:03:38]

Though I am trying[00:03:45]

To stay in the saddle,[00:03:47]

I'm getting weary,[00:03:50]

Unable to ride.[00:03:51]

But my love for[00:03:53]

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,[00:03:55]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.[00:03:58]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.[00:04:05]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.[00:04:08]

From out of nowhere Felina has found me,[00:04:14]

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.[00:04:17]

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,[00:04:23]

One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.[00:04:27]
