《El Paso》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso - Joey Welz

[00:00:14] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:18] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:24] Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina

[00:00:28] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:34] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:38] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:45] My love was deep for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:49] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:55] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:58] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:01:08] Dashing and daring

[00:01:10] A drink he was sharing

[00:01:12] With wicked Felina

[00:01:13] The girl that I loved

[00:01:16] So in anger I

[00:01:18] Challenged his right for the love of this maiden

[00:01:22] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:28] My challenge was answered

[00:01:30] In less than a heart beat

[00:01:32] The handsome young

[00:01:33] Stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:39] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:42] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:49] Many thoughts raced through

[00:01:50] My mind as I stood there

[00:01:53] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:59] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

[00:02:03] Out where the horses were tied

[00:02:12] I caught a good one

[00:02:14] It looked like it could run

[00:02:16] Up on its back

[00:02:17] And away I did ride

[00:02:20] Just as fast as I

[00:02:22] Could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:02:26] Out to the bad lands of New Mexico

[00:02:32] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:36] Everything's gone in life nothing is left

[00:02:42] It's been so long since

[00:02:44] I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:46] My love is stronger than my fear of death

[00:02:53] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:02:56] Riding alone in the dark

[00:03:06] Maybe tomorrow

[00:03:07] A bullet may find me

[00:03:09] Tonight nothing's worse than this

[00:03:12] Pain in my heart

[00:03:14] And at last here I

[00:03:16] Am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:03:20] I can see Rosa's cantina below

[00:03:26] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:03:30] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:03:36] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:40] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:47] Shouting and shooting

[00:03:48] I can't let them catch me

[00:03:50] I have to make it to Rosa's back door

[00:03:57] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:04:01] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:04:10] Though I am trying

[00:04:11] To stay in the saddle

[00:04:13] I'm getting weary

[00:04:15] Unable to ride

[00:04:18] But my love for

[00:04:20] Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

[00:04:24] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:04:30] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:04:34] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:04:40] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:04:44] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:04:51] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:55] One little kiss and Felina good bye
