EL PASO SOURCE: Bob Pfeffer SOURCE'S SOURCE: Marty Robbins (1959) TEXT: D e Out in the West Texas town of El Paso A7 D I fell in love with a Mexican girl D e Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina A7 D Music would play and Felina would whirl Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was deep for this Mexican maiden I was in love but in vain I could tell G C G D7 G G D7 Wild as the West Texas wind D7 Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing D7 G With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved A7 D e maiden A7 D Down went his hand for the gun that he wore D e My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat A7 D The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance, and that was to run Out where the horses were tied I caught a good one, it looked like it could run Up on its back and away I did ride Paso Out to the badlands of New Mexico < - > < - > Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everything's gone in life, nothing is left It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death Riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart I can see Rosa's cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina 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 A deep burning pain in my side Though I am trying to stay in the saddle I'm getting weary, unable to ride fallen Though I am weary I can't stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere Felina 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, then Felina goodbye.
