El Paso lyrics

 Send "El Paso" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Out in the west Texas town of El Paso
I fell in
love with a Mexican girl
Night time would find
me in Rosa's Cantina
Music would play and
Feleena would whirl.
Blacker than night were
the eyes of Feleena
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 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.
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 may 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 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, then Feleena,
goodbye!
