Jim Ed Brown - El Paso слова песни
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girlNighttime would find me in Rosa`s CantinaMusic would play and Feleena would whirlBlacker than night were the eyes of Felina wicked and evil while casting a spellMy love was deep for this Mexican maiden I was in love but in vain I could tellOne night a wild young cowboy came in wild as the west Texas windDashing and daring a drink he was sharing with wicked Feleena the girl that I lovedSo in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maidenDown with his hand for the gun that he woreMy challenege was answered in less than a heartbeatThe handsome young strager lay dead on the floorJust for a moment I stood there in silence shocked by the foul deed I had doneMany thoughts raced through my mind as I stood thereI had but one chance that was to runOut through the backdoor of Rosa`s I ran out where the horses were tiedI caught a good one it looked like it could run up on its back and away I did rideJust as fast as I could from the west Texas town of El PasoOut to the badlands of New MexicoBack in El Paso my life would be worthless everything`s gone in life nothing is leftIt`s been so long since I`ve seen the young maidenMy love is stronger than my fear of deathI saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the darkMaybe tomorrow a bullet will find me tonight nothin`s worse than this pain in my heartAnd at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa`s Cantina belowMy love is strong and it pushes me onward down off the hill to Feleena I goOff to my right I see five mounted cowboys off to my left ride a dozen or moreShouting and shooting I can`t let them catch me I have to make it to Rosa`s backdoorSomething is dreadfuly wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my sideThough I am trying to stay in the saddle I`m getting weary unable to rideBut my love for Feleena is strong and I rise where I`ve fallenThough I am weary I can`s stop to restI see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chestFrom out of nowhere Feleena has found me kissing my cheek as she kneels by my sideCradled by two loving arms that I`ll die for one little kiss then Feleena goodbye
