歌手名 Grateful Dead

Out in the west Texas

Town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Nighttime would find me

In Rose's cantina

Music would play and

Felina would whirl

Black as the night were

The eyes of Felina

Wicked and evil while casting a spell

My love was strong 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 Felina

The girl that I love

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 roses I ran

Out where the horses were tied

I picked a good one

It looked like he could run

Up on his back and away I did ride

Just as fast as I could

From the west Texas town of El Paso

Out through the badlands of new Mexico

Back in El Paso my life

Would be worthless

Everything is gone in life

Nothing is left

But it's been so long since

I've seen the young maiden

My love is stronger

That my fear of death

I saddled up and away I did go

Riding alone in the dark

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

Tonight nothing's worse

Than this pain in my heart

But at last here I am

On the hill overlooking El Paso

I can see Rose's cantina below

My love is strong

And it pushes me onward

Down off the hill to Felina I go

Off to my right I see

Five mounted cowboys

Off to my left ride a dozen

Or more

Shouting and shooting

I can't let them catch me

I've got to make it to

Rose's back door

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

A deep burning pain in my side

It's getting harder

To stay in the saddle

I'm getting weary unable to ride

But my love for Felina 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

Felina 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 Felina goodbye
