El Paso - Robert Horton[00:00:00]

Out in the west texas town of el paso[00:00:09]

I fell in love with a mexican girl[00:00:12]

Nighttime would find me in rosa's cantina[00:00:19]

Music would play and felina would whirl[00:00:22]

Blacker than night were the eyes of felina[00:00:28]

Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:31]

My love was deep for this mexican maiden[00:00:37]

I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:41]

One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:47]

Wild as the west texas wind[00:00:50]

Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:00:59]

With wicked felina the girl that I loved[00:01:02]

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 heartbeat[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[00:01:47]

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

I caught a good one it looked like it could run[00:01:59]

Up on its back and away I did ride[00:02:02]

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

Could from the west texas town of el paso[00:02:08]

Out to the badlands of new mexico[00:02:11]

Back in el paso my life would be worthless[00:02:23]

Everything's gone in life nothing is left[00:02:26]

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:32]

My love is stronger than my fear of death[00:02:36]

I saddled up and away I did go[00:02:42]

Riding alone in the dark[00:02:45]

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:54]

Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:57]

And at last here I[00:03:01]

Am on the hill overlooking el paso[00:03:03]

I can see rosa's cantina below[00:03:07]

My love is strong and it pushes me onward[00:03:13]

Down off the hill to felina I go[00:03:16]

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:03:22]

Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:26]

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:31]

I have to make it to rosa's back door[00:03:35]

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:41]

A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:44]

Though I am trying to stay in the saddle[00:03:53]

I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:56]

But my love for[00:04:00]

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen[00:04:02]

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:04:06]

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:04:12]

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:15]

From out of nowhere felina has found me[00:04:20]

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:04:26]

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:33]

One little kiss and felina goodbye[00:04:40]
