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]
