Jim Ed Brown - El Paso lyrics
(Marty Robbins) 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 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 Feleena the girl that I loved. So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down with his hand for the gun that he wore My challenege was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young strager lay dead on the floor. Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance, that was to run. Out through the backdoor 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 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 nothin'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 Feleena 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 backdoor. Something is dreadfuly 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's 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 then Feleena goodbye... |
