Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
Out where the horses were tied
Pain in my heart
Though I am trying
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
I can see Rosa's cantina below
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Down off the hill to Felina I go
I saddled up and away I did go
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
Music would play and Felina would whirl
Riding alone in the dark
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I'm getting weary
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
A drink he was sharing
And at last here I
But my love for
Dashing and daring
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
And away I did ride
Everything's gone in lifenothing is left
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Just as fast as I
It looked like it could run
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
One night a wild young cowboy came in
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat
So in anger I
A deep burning pain in my side
To stay in the saddle
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
With wicked Felina
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
I had but one chance and that was to run
My love is stronger than my fear of death
Unable to ride
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
Up on its back
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Maybe tomorrow
The girl that I loved
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
Wild as the West Texas wind
I caught a good one
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
I was in love but in vain, I could tell
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
A bullet may find me
