El Paso (Tivoii Concert Hall Copenhagen Denmark 4/14/1972) - Grateful Dead[00:00:01]
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso[00:00:12]
I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:15]
Nighttime would fine me in Rosa's Cantina[00:00:20]
Music would play and Felina would whirl[00:00:23]
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina[00:00:28]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:32]
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden[00:00:36]
I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:40]
One night a wild young cowboy came in wild[00:00:45]
As the west Texas wind[00:00:47]
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:00:55]
With wicked Felina the girl that I love[00:00:58]
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden[00:01:01]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:06]
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:11]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:15]
Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:20]
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:23]
Many thoughts ran through[00:01:28]
My mind as I stood there[00:01:29]
I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:30]
Out through the back door of rose's[00:01:36]
I ran out where the horses were tied[00:01:38]
I picked a good one[00:01:46]
He looked like he could run[00:01:47]
Up on his back and away I did ride[00:01:49]
Just as fast as I could from the west[00:01:52]
Texas town of El Paso[00:01:55]
Out through the badlands of New Mexico[00:01:58]
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:02:03]
Everything's gone in life nothing is left[00:02:05]
But it's been so long since[00:02:10]
I've seen the young maiden[00:02:12]
My love is stronger that my fear of death[00:02:14]
I saddled up and away[00:02:19]
I did go riding alone in the dark[00:02:20]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:29]
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:32]
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:02:35]
I can see Rosa's Cantina below[00:02:40]
My love is strong and it pushes me onward[00:02:45]
Down off the hill to Felina I go[00:02:48]
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:02:53]
Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:02:56]
Shouting and shooting[00:03:01]
I can't let them catch me[00:03:03]
I've got to make it to rose's back door[00:03:04]
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:10]
A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:12]
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle[00:03:20]
I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:23]
But my love for[00:03:25]
Felina is strong and I writhe where I've fallen[00:03:27]
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:03:31]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:03:36]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:03:39]
From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:03:44]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:03:47]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:03:52]
One little kiss and Felina good-bye[00:03:55]
