Hank Snow El Paso Lyrics:
Out in the west Texas 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 strager lay dead on
the floor Just for a moment I stood there in
silence shocked by the foul evil 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 fear 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 gettin' 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
