Written by Marty Robbins      Out in the west Texan town of El Paso    I fell in love with a Mexican girl   Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina    Music would play and Feleena would whirl   Blacker than night were the eyes of Feleena    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   One night a wild young cowboy came in    Wild as the west Texas wind   Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing    With wicked Feleena the girl that I loved      So in danger I challenged    His right for the love of this maiden   Down went his hand for the gun that he wore   My challenege was answered in less than a heartbeat   The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor   Just for a moment I stood there in silence    Shocked by the foul 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 to the backdoor of Rosa's I ran    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   Just as fast as I could    From the west Texas town of El 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 fears of death   I saddled up and away I did go    Riding alone in the dark   Maybe tomorrow a bullet would find me   Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart      And at last here I am on the hill    Overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's Cantina below   My love is strong and it pushes me onward    Down off the hill to Feleena 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 backdoor      Something is dreadfuly wrong for I feel    A deep burning pain in my side   Though I am trying to stay in the saddle    I'm getting weary unable to ride   But my love for Feleena is strong and    I rise where I've 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 Feleena has found me    kissing my cheeks as she kneels by my side   Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for    One little kiss then Feleena, goodbye...
