El Paso-Old 97's[00:00:01]
Out in the west texas town of el paso I fell in love with a mexican girl [00:00:14]
Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina [00:00:21]
Music would play and felina would whirl [00:00:24]
Black as the night were the eyes of felina [00:00:28]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell [00:00:31]
My love was strong for this mexican maiden [00:00:34]
I was in love but in vain I could tell [00:00:37]
One night a wild young cowboy came in wild as the west texas wind [00:00:41]
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing [00:00:52]
With wicked felina the girl that I love [00:00:55]
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden;[00:00:59]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore [00:01:05]
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:08]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor [00:01:11]
Just for a moment I stood there in silence [00:01:17]
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done [00:01:21]
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;[00:01:24]
I had but one chance and that was to run [00:01:27]
Out through the back door of roses I ran out where the horses were tied [00:01:30]
I picked a good one; he looked like he could run [00:01:42]
Up on his back and away I did ride [00:01:46]
Just as fast as I could from the west texas town of el paso [00:01:49]
Out thru the badlands of new mexico [00:01:55]
Back in el paso my life would be worthless;[00:02:14]
Everythings gone in life nothing is left [00:02:17]
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden [00:02:21]
My love is stronger that my fear of death [00:02:24]
I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark [00:02:27]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me [00:02:39]
Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart [00:02:42]
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso [00:02:46]
I can see roses cantina below [00:02:51]
My love is strong and it pushes me onward down off the hill to felina I go [00:02:55]
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my sad[00:03:01]
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle [00:03:13]
I'm getting weary unable to ride [00:03:16]
But my love for felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen;[00:03:20]
Though I am weary I cant stop to rest [00:03:26]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle [00:03:29]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest [00:03:32]
From out of nowhere felina has found me [00:03:38]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side [00:03:41]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for [00:03:45]
One little kiss and felina good-bye [00:03:48]
Felina good-bye [00:04:02]
Felina good-bye [00:04:09]
Felina good-bye[00:04:16]
