C Dm G7 C
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl
C Dm
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina
G7 C F|C
Music would play and Felina would whirl
C Dm
Black as the night were the eyes of Felina
G7 C F|C
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
C Dm
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden
G7 C F|C
I was in love but in vain I could tell
F Bb F Bb C7
One night a wild young cowboy came in wild as the West Texas wind
C7
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing
F
With wicked Felina the girl that I love
G G7 C Dm G7
So in an - ger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
C
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
Dm
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
G C
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Dm
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
G C
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Dm
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there
G C
I had but one chance and that was to run
F Bb F Bb C7
Out through the back door of Rose's I ran out where the horses were tied
C7
I picked a good one he looked like he could run
F
Up on his back and away I did ride
C Dm
Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
G C
Out thru the badlands of New Mexico
Dm
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
G C
Everything's gone in life nothing is left
C Dm
But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
G C
My love is stronger that my fear of death
F Bb F Bb C7
I saddled up and away I did go riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
F
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
C Dm
And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
G C
I can see Rose's Cantina below
Dm G C
My love is strong and it pushes me onward down off the hill to Felina I go
C Dm
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
G C
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
C Dm
shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
G C
I've got to make it to Rose's back door
F Bb F Bb C7
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my side
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle
F
I'm getting weary unable to ride
C Dm
But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
G C
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
C Dm
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
G C
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
C Dm
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
G C
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
C Dm
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
G C
One little kiss and Felina goodbye
