《El Paso》歌词

[00:00:09] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:12] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:18] Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina

[00:00:22] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:28] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:40] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:43] My love was deep for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:49] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:53] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:01:09] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:01:19] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

[00:01:23] With wicked Felina the girl that I loved

[00:01:40] So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden

[00:01:49] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:58] My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat

[00:02:19] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:02:39] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

[00:02:41] Out where the horses were tied

[00:02:49] I caught a good one it looked like it could run

[00:02:52] Up on its back and away I did ride

[00:02:59] Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:03:13] Out to the badlands of New Mexico

[00:03:19] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:03:21] Everything's gone in life nothing is left

[00:03:29] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:03:41] My love is stronger than my fear of death

[00:03:43] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:03:50] Riding alone in the dark

[00:03:53] Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me

[00:03:59] Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

[00:04:12] And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:04:19] I can see Rosa's Cantina below

[00:04:29] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:04:41] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:04:45] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:04:52] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:05:11] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:05:19] I have to make it to Rosa's back door

[00:05:22] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:05:29] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:05:40] Though I am trying to stay in the saddle

[00:05:44] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:05:50] But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

[00:05:54] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:06:10] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:06:13] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:06:20] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:06:21] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:06:24] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:06:41] One little kiss then Felina good bye
