《El Paso》歌词

[00:00:00] El Paso - Marty Robbins

[00:00:10] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:00:14] I fell in love with a Mexican girl

[00:00:20] Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina

[00:00:23] Music would play and Felina would whirl

[00:00:29] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

[00:00:33] Wicked and evil while casting a spell

[00:00:39] My love was deep 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

[00:00:52] Wild as the West Texas wind

[00:01:00] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing

[00:01:04] With wicked Felina the girl that I loved

[00:01:08] So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden

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

[00:01:19] My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat

[00:01:23] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

[00:01:28] Just for a moment I stood there In silence

[00:01:32] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done

[00:01:38] Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there

[00:01:41] I had but one chance and that was to run

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

[00:01:51] Out where the horses were tied

[00:01:59] I caught a good one it looked like it could run

[00:02:03] Up on its back and away I did ride

[00:02:06] Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso

[00:02:12] Out to the badlands of New Mexico

[00:02:18] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

[00:02:21] Everything's gone in life nothing is left

[00:02:27] It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

[00:02:31] My love is stronger than my fear of death

[00:02:36] I saddled up and away I did go

[00:02:40] Riding alone in the dark

[00:02:49] Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me

[00:02:52] Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

[00:02:56] And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso

[00:03:01] I can see Rosa's Cantina below

[00:03:07] My love is strong and it pushes me onward

[00:03:11] Down off the hill to Felina I go

[00:03:17] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

[00:03:20] Off to my left ride a dozen or more

[00:03:26] Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

[00:03:29] I have to make it to Rosa's back door

[00:03:35] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

[00:03:39] A deep burning pain in my side

[00:03:47] Though I am trying to stay in the saddle

[00:03:51] I'm getting weary unable to ride

[00:03:54] But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

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

[00:04:06] I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

[00:04:09] I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

[00:04:15] From out of nowhere Felina has found me

[00:04:19] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

[00:04:25] Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

[00:04:28] One little kiss then Felina good-bye
