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
