1
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
2
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
3
Night-time would find me in Rosa'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 deep 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
12
A drink he was sharing
13
With wicked Felina
14
The girl that I loved
15
So in anger I
16
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden
17
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
18
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat
19
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
20
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
21
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
22
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
23
I had but one chance and that was to run
24
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
25
Out where the horses were tied
26
I caught a good one
27
It looked like it could run
28
Up on its back
29
And away I did ride
30
Just as fast as I
31
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
32
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico
33
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
34
Everything's gone in lifenothing is left
35
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
36
My love is stronger than my fear of death
37
I saddled up and away I did go
38
Riding alone in the dark
39
Maybe tomorrow
40
A bullet may find me
41
Tonight nothing's worse than this
42
Pain in my heart
43
And at last here I
44
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso
45
I can see Rosa's cantina below
46
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
47
Down off the hill to Felina I go
48
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
49
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
50
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
51
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
52
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
53
A deep burning pain in my side
54
Though I am trying
55
To stay in the saddle
56
I'm getting weary
57
Unable to ride
58
But my love for
59
Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
60
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
61
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
62
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
63
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
64
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
65
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
66
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye
