  in the West Texas town of El Paso
 I fell in love with a  girl.
 Night-time would  me in Rosa's cantina;
 Music would play and  would whirl.
 
 Blacker than night were the eyes  Felina,
 Wicked and evil while casting  spell.
 My love was deep for  Mexican maiden;
 I was in love but in vain, I  tell.
 
  night a wild young cowboy came in,
  as the West Texas wind.
 Dashing and daring,
 A drink he was 
 With wicked Felina,
 The  that I loved.
 
 So  anger I
 
  his right for the love of this maiden.
 Down went  hand for the gun that he wore.
 My challenge was answered in less than  heart-beat;
 The handsome young  lay dead on the floor.
 
 Just for a moment I stood  in silence,
 Shocked by the FOUL EVIL  I had done.
 Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood 
 I had but one chance  that was to run.
 
 Out through  back door of Rosa's I ran,
 Out where the horses  tied.
  caught a good one.
 It looked like  could run.
 Up  its back
  away I did ride,
 
  as fast as I
 
 Could  the West Texas town of El Paso
 Out  the bad-lands of New Mexico.
 
 Back in El  my life would be worthless.
 Everything's gone in life;  is left.
 It's been so long since I've  the young maiden
 My love  stronger than my fear of death.
 
 I saddled up and away  did go,
 Riding  in the dark.
 Maybe tomorrow
 A bullet may  me.
 Tonight  worse than this
 Pain  my heart.
 
 And at last here 
 
 Am on  hill overlooking El Paso;
  can see Rosa's cantina below.
 My love is  and it pushes me onward.
 Down off the  to Felina I go.
 
 Off to  right I see five mounted cowboys;
 Off to my  ride a dozen or more.
 Shouting and shooting I can't  them catch me.
 I have to make it to Rosa's back 
 
 Something  dreadfully wrong for I feel
 A deep burning pain in  side.
 Though I am 
 To stay in  saddle,
 I'm getting weary,
 Unable to ride.
 
 But my love 
 
 Felina is strong  I rise where I've fallen,
 Though  am weary I can't stop to rest.
 I see the white puff  smoke from the rifle.
 I feel the  go deep in my chest.
 
 From out of nowhere  has found me,
  my cheek as she kneels by my side.
 Cradled by  loving arms that I'll die for,
 One little  and Felina, good-bye.
