Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
C DmNighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina,
G7 C F CMusic would play and Felina would whirl.
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina,
G7 C F CWicked and evil while casting a spell.
C DmMy love was strong for this Mexican maiden,
I was in love, but in vain I could tell.
F Bb F Bb C7One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the West Texas wind...
C7Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing,
With wicked Felina, the girl that I love.
G G7 C Dm G7So in an - ger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden;
CDown went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat
G CThe handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
DmJust for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.
DmMany thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;
G CI had but one chance and that was to run.
Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, out where the horses were tied...
C7I picked a good one; he looked like he could run,
FUp on his back and away I did ride.
Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso,
G COut thru the badlands of New Mexico.
DmBack in El Paso my life would be worthless;
Everything's gone in life nothing is left.
C DmBut it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden,
G CMy love is stronger that my fear of death.
I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark...
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me,
FTonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso,
G CI can see Rose's Cantina below.
Dm G CMy love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina I go.
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys,
G COff to my left ride a dozen or more.
C Dmshouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me,
I've got to make it to Rose's back door.
F Bb F Bb C7Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my side...
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle.
I'm getting weary, unable to ride.
C DmBut my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen;
G CThough I am weary, I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle,
G CI feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
C DmFrom out of nowhere, Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
C DmCradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
G COne little kiss and Felina goodbye.
