1
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
2
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
3
Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina
4
Music would play and Felina would whirl
5
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
6
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
7
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden
8
I was in love, but in vain I could tell
9
One night a wild young cowboy came in
10
Wild as the West Texas wind
11
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing
12
With wicked Felina, the girl that I love
13
So in anger I challenged his right
14
For the love of this maiden
15
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
16
My challenge was answered
17
In less than a heartbeat
18
The handsome young stranger
19
Lay dead on the floor
20
Just for a moment I stood
21
There in silence
22
Shocked by the foul evil
23
Deed I had done
24
Many thoughts ran through my mind
25
As I stood there
26
I had but one chance and
27
That was to run
28
Out through the back door
29
Of Rose's I ran
30
Out where the horses were tied
31
I caught a good one
32
He looked like he could run
33
Up on his back and away I did ride.
34
Just as fast as
35
I could from the West Texas
36
Town of El Paso
37
Out through the badlands
38
Of New Mexico
39
Back in El Paso
40
My life would be worthless
41
Everything's gone in life
42
Nothing is left
43
But it's been so long since
44
I've seen the young maiden
45
My love is stronger than
46
My fear of death.
47
I saddled up and away I did go
48
Riding alone in the dark
49
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
50
Tonight nothing's worse than this
51
Pain in my heart
52
And at last here
53
I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
54
I can see Rose's Cantina below
55
My love is strong and it
56
Pushes me onward
57
Down off the hill to Felina I go
58
Off to my right I see
59
Five mounted cowboys
60
Off to my left
61
Ride a dozen or more.
62
Shouting and shooting
63
I can't let the catch me
64
I've got to make it to Rose's back door.
65
Something is dreadfully
66
Wrong for I feel
67
A deep burning pain in my side
68
It's getting harder to
69
Stay in the saddle
70
I'm getting weary
71
Unable to ride
72
But my love for
73
Felina is strong and
74
I rise where I've fallen
75
Though I am weary
76
I can't stop to rest
77
I see the white puff of
78
Smoke from the rifle
79
I feel the bullet go
80
Deep in my chest
81
From out of nowhere
82
Felina has found me
83
Kissing my cheek as she
84
Kneels by my side
85
Cradled by two loving
86
Arms that I'll die for
87
One little kiss and
88
Felina, goodbye.
