El Paso [Live at Denver Coliseum, Denver, CO 11/21/73[00:00:00]
Out in the west Texas town of el paso[00:00:16]
I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:19]
Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina[00:00:24]
Music would play and felina would whirl[00:00:27]
Black as the night were the eyes of felina[00:00:32]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:34]
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden[00:00:39]
I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:42]
One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:47]
Wild as the west Texas wind[00:00:49]
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:00:57]
With wicked felina the girl that I love[00:00:59]
So in anger I challenged his right[00:01:02]
For the love of this maiden[00:01:05]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:07]
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:12]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:14]
Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:19]
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:22]
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there[00:01:27]
I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:29]
Out through the back door of roses I ran[00:01:34]
Out where the horses were tied[00:01:37]
I picked a good one he looked like he could run[00:01:44]
Up on his back and away I did ride[00:01:46]
Just as fast as[00:01:50]
I could from the west Texas town of el paso[00:01:51]
Out thru the badlands of new mexico[00:01:54]
Back in el paso my life would be worthless[00:01:59]
Everythings gone in life nothing is left[00:02:02]
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:06]
My love is stronger that my fear of death[00:02:09]
I saddled up and away[00:02:14]
I did go riding alone in the dark[00:02:16]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:24]
Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:27]
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso[00:02:30]
I can see roses cantina below[00:02:34]
My love is strong and it pushes me onward[00:02:40]
Down off the hill to felina I go[00:02:42]
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:02:47]
Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:02:49]
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:02:54]
I've got to make it to roses back door[00:02:57]
Something is dreadfully wrong[00:03:02]
For I feel a deep burning pain in my[00:03:04]
Sight[00:03:06]
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle[00:03:12]
I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:15]
But my love for felina is strong[00:03:18]
And I rise where I've fallen[00:03:21]
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:03:22]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:03:27]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:03:30]
From out of nowhere felina has found me[00:03:35]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:03:38]
Cradled by two loving arms that Ill die for[00:03:43]
One little kiss and felina[00:03:45]
Good bye[00:03:49]
