《El Paso(Live at Denver Coliseum， Denver， CO 11/21/73)》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso (Live at Denver Coliseum, Denver, CO 11/21/73) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

[00:00:16] Out in the west Texas town of el paso

[00:00:19] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:24] Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina

[00:00:27] Music would play and felina would whirl

[00:00:32] Black as the night were the eyes of felina

[00:00:34] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:39] My love was strong for this Mexican maiden

[00:00:42] I was in love but in vain I could tell

[00:00:47] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:49] Wild as the west Texas wind

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

[00:00:59] With wicked felina the girl that I love

[00:01:02] So in anger I challenged his right

[00:01:05] For the love of this maiden

[00:01:07] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:12] My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat

[00:01:14] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:19] Just for a moment I stood there in silence

[00:01:22] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:27] Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there

[00:01:29] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:34] Out through the back door of roses I ran

[00:01:37] Out where the horses were tied

[00:01:44] I picked a good one he looked like he could run

[00:01:46] Up on his back and away I did ride

[00:01:50] Just as fast as

[00:01:51] I could from the west Texas town of el paso

[00:01:54] Out thru the badlands of new mexico

[00:01:59] Back in el paso my life would be worthless

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

[00:02:06] But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:09] My love is stronger that my fear of death

[00:02:14] I saddled up and away

[00:02:16] I did go riding alone in the dark

[00:02:24] Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

[00:02:27] Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart

[00:02:30] And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso

[00:02:34] I can see roses cantina below

[00:02:40] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:02:42] Down off the hill to felina I go

[00:02:47] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:02:49] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:02:54] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:02:57] I've got to make it to roses back door

[00:03:02] Something is dreadfully wrong

[00:03:04] For I feel a deep burning pain in my

[00:03:06] Sight

[00:03:12] It's getting harder to stay in the saddle

[00:03:15] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:03:18] But my love for felina is strong

[00:03:21] And I rise where I've fallen

[00:03:22] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:03:27] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:03:30] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:03:35] From out of nowhere felina has found me

[00:03:38] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:03:43] Cradled by two loving arms that Ill die for

[00:03:45] One little kiss and felina

[00:03:49] Good bye
