Out in the West Texas

town of El Paso
Nightime 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
Dashing and daring

a drink he was sharing

With wicked Felina

the girl that I loved
So in anger

Ichallenged his right

For the love of this maiden
0th through the back

door of Rosa's I ran
I caught a good one,

it looked like it could run

Upon its back and

away I did ride
Just as fast as I could

From the West Texas

town of El Paso
0th through the badlands

of New Mexico
Back in El Paso

my life would be worthless
It's been so long since

I've seen the young maiden
I saddled up and away
I did go
May be tomorrow
a bullet may find me

Tonight, nothin'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
Something is dreadfully

wrong for I feel
Though I am trying

to stay in the saddle

I'm gettin'

weary unable to ride
I see the white puff of

smoke from the rifle
From out of nowhere

Felina has found me
Cradled by two lovin'

arms that I'll die for
One little kiss

and Felina goodbye
