[00:00:00] El Paso (Live at Hofheinz Pavillion Houston October 14 1977) - Grateful Dead

[00:00:04] Houston October 14 1977) - Grateful Dead

[00:00:19] Out in the west texas town of El Paso

[00:00:22] I fell in love with a mexican girl

[00:00:27] Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina

[00:00:30] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:35] Black as the night were the eyes of felina

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

[00:00:43] My love was strong for this mexican maiden

[00:00:46] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:52] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:54] Wild as the west texas wind

[00:00:57] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

[00:01:04] With wicked felina the girl that I love

[00:01:08] So in anger I challenged his right

[00:01:11] For the love of this maiden;

[00:01:13] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:18] My challenge was answered

[00:01:20] In less than a heartbeat

[00:01:21] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:26] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:30] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:34] Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;

[00:01:37] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:43] Out through the back door of roses I ran

[00:01:45] Out where the horses were tied

[00:01:53] I picked a good one; he looked like he could run

[00:01:56] Up on his back and away I did ride

[00:01:59] Just as fast as I could

[00:02:01] From the west texas town of el paso

[00:02:04] Out thru the badlands of new mexico

[00:02:09] Back in el paso my life would be worthless;

[00:02:12] Everythings gone in life nothing is left

[00:02:17] But it's been so long since

[00:02:19] I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:21] My love is stronger that my fear of death

[00:02:25] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:02:28] Riding alone in the dark

[00:02:36] Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

[00:02:38] Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart

[00:02:42] And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso

[00:02:47] I can see roses cantina below

[00:02:52] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:02:55] Down off the hill to felina I go

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

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

[00:03:08] Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me

[00:03:11] I've got to make it to roses back door

[00:03:16] Something is dreadfully wrong for

[00:03:18] I feel a deep burning pain in my heart

[00:03:27] It's getting harder to stay in the saddle

[00:03:29] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:03:32] But my love for felina is strong

[00:03:35] And I rise where I've fallen;

[00:03:37] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:03:42] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:03:45] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:03:51] From out of nowhere felina has found me

[00:03:53] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:03:58] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:02] One little kiss and felina good-bye
