Out in the West Texas
town of El Paso
I fell in love with a
Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in
Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Feleena
would whirl
Blacker than night where the
eyes of Feleena
Wicked and evil while casting
her spell
My love was deep for this
Mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain
I could tell
One night a wild young cowboy
came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring,
a drink he was sharing
With wicked Feleena,
the girl that I loved
So in anger
I challenged his right for the
love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the
gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in
less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger
lay dead on the floor
Just for a moment
I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul,
evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my
mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that
was to run
Out through the back door of
Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one,
it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away
I did ride
Just as fast as
I could from the
West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands
of New Mexico
<Interlude>
Back in El Paso
my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life,
nothing is left
It's been so long since
I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my
fear of death
I saddle up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will
find me
Tonight nothing's worse
than this pain in my heart
And at last here
I am on the hill
over looking El Paso
I can see Rosa's cantina below
My love is strong and it
pushes me onward
Down off the hill to
Feleena I go
Off to my right I see five
mounted cowboys
Off to my left are
a dozen and more
Shouting and shooting I can't
let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's
back door
Something is dreadfully wrong
for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay
in the saddle
I'm getting weary,
unable to ride
But my love for
Feleena is strong, and I
rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary I can't
stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke
from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep
in my chest
From out of nowhere Feleena
has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels
by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that
I'll die for
One little kiss and Feleena,
goodbye
e the time and get it right
