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 Felina would whirl

Blacker than night were

the eyes of Felina

Wicked and evil

while casting a 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 Felina

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

Up on its back

and away I did ride

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

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 saddled 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 overlooking El Paso

I can see Rosa'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 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 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

then Felina good-bye
