El Paso - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
Written by:Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso[00:00:10]
I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:13]
Nighttime 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 a drink he was sharing[00:01:00]
With wicked Felina the girl that I loved[00:01:03]
So in anger I challenged his right[00:01:07]
For the love of this maiden[00:01:11]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:13]
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:18]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:22]
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran[00:01:28]
Out where the horses were tied[00:01:31]
I caught a good one it looked like it could run[00:01:40]
Up on its back and away I did ride[00:01:43]
Just as fast as I could from[00:01:47]
The West Texas town of El Paso[00:01:50]
Out to the badlands of new Mexico[00:01:53]
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:01:59]
Everything's gone in life nothing is left[00:02:02]
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:08]
My love is stronger than my fear of death[00:02:11]
I saddled up and away I did go[00:02:17]
Riding alone in the dark[00:02:21]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:29]
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:33]
And at last here I[00:02:37]
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:02:39]
I can see Rosa's Cantina below[00:02:42]
My love is strong and it pushes me onward[00:02:48]
Down off the hill to Felina I go[00:02:51]
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys[00:02:57]
Off to my left ride a dozen or more[00:03:01]
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:07]
I have to make it to Rosa's back door[00:03:10]
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:16]
A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:19]
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle[00:03:28]
I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:31]
But my love for Felina is strong[00:03:35]
And I rise where I've fallen[00:03:39]
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:03:41]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:03:47]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:03:50]
From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:03:56]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:03:59]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:05]
One little kiss and Felina goodbye[00:04:09]
