Out inD the West Texas town oEmf El Paso
A7I fell in love with a Mexican Dgirl.
Nighttime would find me in EmRose's Cantina,
A7Music would play and Felina would Dwhirl.
DBlacker than night were the Emeyes of Felina,
A7Wicked and evil while casting a Dspell.
My love was deep for this EmMexican maiden,
A7I was in love, but in vain I could Dtell.
GOne night a wild young Dcowboy came Gin,
Wild as the DWest Texas D7wind.
D7Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing,
D7With wicked Felina, the girl that I Glove.
So in A7anger
DI challenged his right for the Emlove of this maiden;
A7Down went his hand for the gun that he Dwore.
My challenge was answered, in Emless than a heartbeat
A7The handsome young stranger lay dead on the Dfloor.
DJust for a moment I Emstood there in silence,
A7Shocked by the foul evil deed I had Ddone.
Many thoughts ran through my Emmind as I stood there;
A7I had but one chance and that was to Drun.
GOut through the back door of DRose's I rGan,
Out where the Dhorses were D7tied.
D7I caught a good one; it looked like it could run,
D7Up on its back and away I did Gride.
Just as A7fast as
DI could from the West Texas Emtown of El Paso,
A7Out to the badlands of New MexiDco.
Back in El Paso my Emlife would be worthless;
A7Everything's gone in life nothing is Dleft.
DIt's been so long since I've Emseen the young maiden,
A7My love is stronger that my fear of Ddeath.
GI saddled up and awDay I did Ggo,
Riding alDone in the D7dark.
D7Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me,
D7Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my Gheart.
And as lA7ast here
I Dam on the hill overEmlooking El Paso,
A7I can see Rose's Cantina beDlow.
My love is strong and it Empushes me onward,
A7Down off the hill to Felina I Dgo.
DOff to my right I see Emfive mounted cowboys,
A7Off to my left ride a Ddozen and more.
Shouting and shooting; I Emcan't let them catch me,
A7I have to make it to Rose's back dDoor.
GSomething is dreadfully Dwrong for I Gfeel
A Ddeep burning D7pain in my side.
D7Though I am trying to stay in the saddle.
D7I'm getting weary, unable to Gride.
But my A7love for
DFelina is strong and I Emrise where I've fallen;
A7Though I am weary, I can't stop to Drest.
I see the white puff of Emsmoke from the rifle,
A7I feel the bullet go deep in my Dchest.
DFrom out of nowhere, FelEmina has found me,
A7Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my Dside.
Cradled by two loving Emarms that I'll die for,
A7One little kiss and Felina goodDbye.
