Jim Ed Brown 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
Felina 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 anger I
challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down with 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 deed I had done Many thoughts raced
through my mind as I stood there I had but one
chance that was to run Out through 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 will
find me tonight nothin'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's 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 cheek as
she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms
that I'll die for one little kiss then Feleena
goodbye
