El Paso
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a mexican girl

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell I was in love with this sexy young 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 woman Down went his hand to the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat Handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

Out through the back door of Rosa‘s I run 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 It‘s been so long since as I‘ve seen the woman 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 the pain in my heart

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

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, oh Felina good-bye
