《El Paso》歌词

[00:00:11] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:15] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:22] Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina

[00:00:26] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:33] Blacker than night where the eyes of Felina

[00:00:37] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:44] My love was strong for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:48] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:55] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:59] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:01:09] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

[00:01:13] With wicked Felina the girl that I loved

[00:01:16] So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden

[00:01:23] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:30] My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat

[00:01:34] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:41] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:45] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:52] Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there

[00:01:56] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:02:03] Out through the back door of Rose's I ran

[00:02:07] Out where the horses were tied

[00:02:17] I caught a good one it looked like it could run

[00:02:21] Up on his back and away I did ride

[00:02:25] Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:02:31] Out thru the badlands of New Mexico

[00:02:38] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:42] Everything's gone in life nothing is left

[00:02:49] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:53] My love is stronger than my fear of death

[00:03:00] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:03:04] Riding alone in the dark

[00:03:15] Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

[00:03:19] Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

[00:03:22] And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:03:29] I can see Rose's Cantina below

[00:03:36] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:03:40] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:03:47] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:51] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:58] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:04:02] I've got to make it to Rose's back door

[00:04:06] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:04:08] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:04:09] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:04:13] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:04:15] Although I am trying to stay in the saddle

[00:04:22] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:04:22] It's getting harder to stay in the saddle

[00:04:26] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:04:30] But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

[00:04:36] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:04:43] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:04:47] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:04:54] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:04:58] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:05:05] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:05:09] One little kiss and Felina goodbye
