《El Paso(Live at Wembley Empire Pool， April 1972)》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso (Live at Wembley Empire Pool April 1972) - Grateful Dead

[00:00:25] Out in the west Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:28] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:34] Nighttime would find me in Rose's cantina

[00:00:37] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:43] Black as the night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:46] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:52] My love was strong for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:55] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:01:01] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:01:04] Wild as the west Texas wind

[00:01:13] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

[00:01:16] With wicked Felina the girl that I love

[00:01:20] So in anger

[00:01:22] I challenged his right

[00:01:23] For the love of this maiden

[00:01:25] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:30] My challenge was answered

[00:01:32] In less than a heartbeat

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

[00:01:40] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:43] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:49] Many thoughts raced through

[00:01:50] My mind as I stood there

[00:01:52] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:58] Out through the back door of roses I ran

[00:02:01] Out where the horses were tied

[00:02:09] I picked a good one

[00:02:11] It looked like he could run

[00:02:13] Up on his back and away I did ride

[00:02:16] Just as fast as

[00:02:18] I could from the west

[00:02:20] Texas town of El Paso

[00:02:22] Out through the badlands of new Mexico

[00:02:27] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:31] Everything is gone in life nothing is left

[00:02:37] But it's been so long since

[00:02:38] I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:40] My love is stronger that my fear of death

[00:02:46] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:02:49] Riding alone in the dark

[00:02:58] Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

[00:03:01] Tonight nothing's worse

[00:03:02] Than this pain in my heart

[00:03:04] But at last here

[00:03:07] I am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:03:10] I can see Rose's cantina below

[00:03:16] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:03:19] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:03:25] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:28] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:34] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:03:38] I've got to make it to Rose's back door

[00:03:43] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:03:47] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:03:56] It's getting harder to stay in the saddle

[00:03:59] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:04:02] But my love for Felina is strong and I rise

[00:04:06] Where I've fallen

[00:04:08] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:04:13] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:04:17] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:04:24] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:04:26] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:04:32] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:35] One little kiss and Felina goodbye
