Out in the west Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Night time would find me in Rosa's Cantina Music would play and Feleena would whirl One night a young cowboy came in wild as the west Texas wind Dancing and daring a drink he was sharing With wicked Feleena the girl that I loved So in danger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenege was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence shocked by the foul deed I had done I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothin's worse than this pain in my heart And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's Cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward down off the hill to Feleena I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me I have to make it to Rosa's back door I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere Feleena has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for one little kiss and Feleena goodbye
