《El Paso (Album Version)》歌词

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

[00:00:01] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:04] Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina

[00:00:05] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:06] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:07] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:08] My love was deep for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:09] I was in love but in vain I could tell

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

[00:00:12] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:00:21] Dashing and daring

[00:00:22] A drink he was sharing

[00:00:22] With wicked Felina

[00:00:23] The girl that I loved

[00:00:24] So in anger I

[00:00:25] Challenged his right for the love of this maiden

[00:00:26] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:00:27] My challenge was answered in less than a heart beat

[00:00:28] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:00:29] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:00:39] Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done

[00:00:40] Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there

[00:00:41] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:00:42] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

[00:00:43] Out where the horses were tied

[00:00:44] I caught a good one

[00:00:45] It looked like it could run

[00:00:45] Up on its back

[00:00:46] And away I did ride

[00:00:46] Just as fast as I

[00:00:47] Could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:48] Out to the bad lands of New Mexico

[00:00:50] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:00:51] Everything's gone in life nothing is left

[00:00:52] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

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

[00:00:55] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:01:50] Riding alone in the dark

[00:01:51] Maybe tomorrow

[00:01:51] A bullet may find me

[00:01:54] Tonight nothing's worse than this

[00:01:54] Pain in my heart

[00:01:55] And at last here I

[00:01:55] Am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:01:57] I can see Rosa's cantina below

[00:01:58] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

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

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

[00:02:03] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:02:04] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:02:05] I have to make it to Rosa's back door

[00:02:15] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:02:26] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:02:27] Though I am trying

[00:02:28] To stay in the saddle

[00:02:28] I'm getting weary

[00:02:29] Unable to ride

[00:02:29] But my love for

[00:02:30] Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

[00:02:31] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:02:32] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:02:33] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:02:42] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:02:43] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:02:44] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

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