《El Paso》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

[00:00:13] Out in the west Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:16] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:21] Nighttime would find me in Rose's cantina

[00:00:24] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:30] Black as the night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:33] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:38] My love was strong for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:42] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:47] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:50] Wild as the west Texas wind

[00:00:58] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

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

[00:01:04] So in anger I challenged

[00:01:07] His right for the love of this maiden

[00:01:09] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:15] My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat

[00:01:18] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:24] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:27] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:32] Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there

[00:01:36] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:41] Out through the back door of roses I ran

[00:01:44] Out where the horses were tied

[00:01:52] I picked a good one it looked like he could run

[00:01:55] Up on his back and away I did ride

[00:01:59] Just as fast as I could from the west

[00:02:02] Texas town of El Paso

[00:02:04] Out through the badlands of new Mexico

[00:02:10] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:13] Everything is gone in life nothing is left

[00:02:18] But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:21] My love is stronger that my fear of death

[00:02:27] I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark

[00:02:38] Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

[00:02:41] Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

[00:02:44] But at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:02:49] I can see Rose's cantina below

[00:02:55] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:02:58] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:03:04] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:07] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:12] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:03:15] I've got to make it to Rose's back door

[00:03:21] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:03:24] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:03:32] It's getting harder to stay in the saddle

[00:03:35] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:03:39] But my love for Felina is strong

[00:03:43] And I rise where I've fallen

[00:03:44] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:03:50] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:03:53] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:03:59] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:04:02] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:04:07] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:10] One little kiss and Felina goodbye
