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
Blacker than night

were the eyes
of Felina
My love was deep

for this
Mexican maiden
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
Down went his

hand for the
gun that he wore
My challenge was

answered in less
than a heartbeat
Out through the

back door of
Rosa's I ran
Out where

the horses
were tied....
Just as fast
as I could from

the West Texas
town of El Paso
Back in El Paso

my life would
be worthless
It's been so long

since I've seen
the young maiden
l saddled up and
away I did 90

Riding alone
in the dark...
Maybe tomorrow

a bullet will
find me
And at last
here I am on the

hill overlooking
ElPaso
My love is strong

and it pushes
me onward
Off to my right

I see five
mounted cowboys
Offto my left

ride a dozen
or more
Shouting and
shooting

I can't let them
catch me
lhaveto

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 l 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'd die for
One little kiss,

then Felina
good-bye
