《El Paso(Olympia Theatre， Paris， France 5/4/1972)》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso (Olympia Theatre Paris France 5/4/1972) (Live)- Grateful Dead

[00:00:13] Out in the west texas town of el paso

[00:00:15] I fell in love with a mexican girl

[00:00:21] Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina

[00:00:24] Music would play and felina would whirl

[00:00:30] Black as the night were the eyes of felina

[00:00:33] 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

[00:00:48] One night a wild young cowboy came in

[00:00:51] Wild as the west texas wind

[00:00:59] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

[00:01:02] With wicked felina the girl that I love

[00:01:06] So in anger I challenged his right

[00:01:09] For the love of this maiden

[00:01:11] Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

[00:01:17] My challenge was answered

[00:01:18] In less than a heartbeat

[00:01:20] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

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

[00:01:29] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:35] Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there

[00:01:38] I had but one chance and that was to run

[00:01:44] Out through the back door of roses I ran

[00:01:47] Out where the horses were tied

[00:01:56] I picked a good one he looked like he could run

[00:01:59] Up on his back and away I did ride

[00:02:02] Just as fast as I could from the west texas town of el paso

[00:02:08] Out thru the badlands of new mexico

[00:02:13] Back in el paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:17] Everythings gone in life nothing is left

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

[00:02:26] My love is stronger that my fear of death

[00:02:32] I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark

[00:02:44] Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

[00:02:46] Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart

[00:02:50] And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso

[00:02:55] I can see roses cantina below

[00:03:02] My love is strong

[00:03:03] And it pushes me onward down off the hill to felina I go

[00:03:10] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:14] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:19] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:03:23] I've got to make it to roses back door

[00:03:28] Something is dreadfully wrong for like me

[00:03:31] I feel a deep burning pain in my soul

[00:03:40] Do I am trying to stay in the saddle

[00:03:43] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:03:46] But my love for felina is strong

[00:03:50] And I rise where I've fallen

[00:03:52] Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

[00:03:58] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:04:01] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:04:08] From out of nowhere felina has found me

[00:04:11] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:04:16] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:20] One little kiss and felina good-bye
