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