《El Paso(Live in Veneta， Oregon 8/27/72)》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso [Live - 8/27/72 Veneta, Oregon

[00:00:20] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:23] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:28] Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina

[00:00:32] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:37] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:40] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

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

[00:00:48] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:54] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:57] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:01:04] Dashing and daring

[00:01:06] A drink he was sharing

[00:01:07] With wicked Felina

[00:01:09] The girl that I loved

[00:01:11] So in anger I

[00:01:12] Challenged his right for the love of this maiden

[00:01:16] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:21] My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat

[00:01:25] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:30] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:33] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:39] Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there

[00:01:42] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:47] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

[00:01:50] Out where the horses were tied

[00:01:54] I caught a good one

[00:01:59] It looked like it could run

[00:02:01] Up on its back

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

[00:02:04] Just as fast as I

[00:02:07] Could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:02:10] Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico

[00:02:15] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:18] Everything's gone in lifenothing is left

[00:02:23] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:27] My love is stronger than my fear of death

[00:02:32] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:02:35] Riding alone in the dark

[00:02:43] Maybe tomorrow

[00:02:44] A bullet may find me

[00:02:45] Tonight nothing's worse than this

[00:02:47] Pain in my heart

[00:02:49] And at last here I

[00:02:50] Am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:02:54] I can see Rosa's cantina below

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

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

[00:03:08] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:11] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:17] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:03:20] I have to make it to Rosa's back door

[00:03:25] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:03:28] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:03:36] Though I am trying

[00:03:37] To stay in the saddle

[00:03:39] I'm getting weary

[00:03:40] Unable to ride

[00:03:42] But my love for

[00:03:44] Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

[00:03:47] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:03:53] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:03:56] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:04:02] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

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

[00:04:10] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:13] One little kiss and Felina good-bye
