El Paso (Wembley Empire Pool London England 4/7/1972) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso[00:00:22]
I fell in love with a Mexican girl[00:00:25]
Nighttime would find me in Rose's cantina[00:00:31]
Music would play and Felina would whirl[00:00:34]
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina[00:00:40]
Wicked and evil while casting a spell[00:00:43]
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden[00:00:49]
I was in love but in vain I could tell[00:00:52]
One night a wild young cowboy came in[00:00:58]
Wild as the west Texas wind[00:01:01]
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing[00:01:09]
With wicked Felina the girl that I love[00:01:13]
So in anger I challenged[00:01:16]
His right for the love of this maiden[00:01:19]
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore[00:01:22]
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat[00:01:27]
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor[00:01:31]
Just for a moment I stood there in silence[00:01:36]
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done[00:01:40]
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there[00:01:46]
I had but one chance and that was to run[00:01:49]
Out through the back door of roses I ran[00:01:55]
Out where the horses were tied[00:01:58]
I picked a good one it looked like he could run[00:02:06]
Up on his back and away I did ride[00:02:09]
Just as fast as I could from the west Texas town of El Paso[00:02:13]
Out through the badlands of new Mexico[00:02:18]
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless[00:02:24]
Everything is gone in life nothing is left[00:02:28]
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden[00:02:33]
My love is stronger that my fear of death[00:02:37]
I saddled up and away I did go[00:02:43]
Riding alone in the dark[00:02:46]
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me[00:02:55]
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart[00:02:57]
But at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso[00:03:01]
I can see Rose'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[00:03:25]
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me[00:03:31]
I've got to make it to Rose's back door[00:03:34]
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel[00:03:40]
A deep burning pain in my side[00:03:44]
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle[00:03:53]
I'm getting weary unable to ride[00:03:55]
But my love for Felina is strong[00:03:59]
And I rise where I've fallen[00:04:02]
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest[00:04:04]
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle[00:04:11]
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest[00:04:14]
From out of nowhere Felina has found me[00:04:20]
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side[00:04:22]
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for[00:04:29]
One little kiss and Felina goodbye[00:04:32]
