《El Paso》歌词

[00:00:02] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:03] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:05] Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina

[00:00:06] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:07] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:08] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:09] My love was deep for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:10] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:11] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:13] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:00:13] Dashing and daring

[00:00:14] A drink he was sharing

[00:00:14] With wicked Felina

[00:00:15] The girl that I loved

[00:00:16] So in anger I

[00:00:16] Challenged his right for the love of this maiden

[00:00:18] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:00:19] My challenge was answered in less than a heart beat

[00:00:20] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:00:23] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:00:24] Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done

[00:00:25] Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there

[00:00:26] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:00:27] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

[00:00:28] Out where the horses were tied

[00:00:28] I caught a good one

[00:00:29] It looked like it could run

[00:00:30] Up on its back

[00:00:30] And away I did ride

[00:00:35] Just as fast as I

[00:00:35] Could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:40] Out to the bad lands of New Mexico

[00:00:41] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:00:42] Everything's gone in life nothing is left

[00:00:43] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:00:45] My love is stronger than my fear of death

[00:00:46] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:00:47] Riding alone in the dark

[00:00:52] Maybe tomorrow

[00:00:53] A bullet may find me

[00:00:55] Tonight nothing's worse than this

[00:00:56] Pain in my heart

[00:00:56] And at last here I

[00:01:56] Am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:01:56] I can see Rosa's cantina below

[00:02:00] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:02:08] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:02:09] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:02:10] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:02:15] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:02:16] I have to make it to Rosa's back door

[00:02:27] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:02:28] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:02:29] Though I am trying

[00:02:29] To stay in the saddle

[00:02:30] I'm getting weary

[00:02:30] Unable to ride

[00:02:31] But my love for

[00:02:31] Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

[00:02:32] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:02:33] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:02:35] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:02:38] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:02:44] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:02:45] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:02:49] One little kiss and Felina good bye
