  • Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
  • I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
  • Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
  • Music would play and Felina would whirl.

  • Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
  • Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
  • My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;
  • I was in love but in vain, I could tell.

  • One night a wild young cowboy came in,
  • Wild as the West Texas wind.
  • Dashing and daring,
  • A drink he was sharing
  • With wicked Felina,
  • The girl that I loved.

  • So in anger I

  • Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.
  • Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
  • My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
  • The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

  • Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
  • Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.
  • Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
  • I had but one chance and that was to run.

  • Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
  • Out where the horses were tied.
  • I caught a good one.
  • It looked like it could run.
  • Up on its back
  • And away I did ride,

  • Just as fast as I

  • Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
  • Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.

  • Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
  • Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.
  • It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
  • My love is stronger than my fear of death.

  • I saddled up and away I did go,
  • Riding alone in the dark.
  • Maybe tomorrow
  • A bullet may find me.
  • Tonight nothing's worse than this
  • Pain in my heart.

  • And at last here I

  • Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
  • I can see Rosa's cantina below.
  • My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
  • Down off the hill to Felina I go.

  • Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
  • Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
  • Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
  • I have to make it to Rosa's back door.

  • Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
  • A deep burning pain in my side.
  • Though I am trying
  • To stay in the saddle,
  • I'm getting weary,
  • Unable to ride.

  • But my love for

  • Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
  • Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
  • I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
  • I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

  • From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
  • Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
  • Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
  • One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.
