El Paso (King of the Hill O.S.T.)
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Night time would find me in Rosa's Cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl
Blacker than night were the eyes of FElina Wicked and evil while casting her 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 Felina, the girl that I loved
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Just for a moment I stood there insilence Shocked by the 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 through the backdoor of Rosa's I ran Out where the horses were tied I cought 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 sice I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I saddled up and away I did go Riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me Tonight, nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
And alas, here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's Cantina below My love is strong and it pushes my onward Down off the hill to Felina I go
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep hurting pain in my side Though I am trying to stay in the saddle I'm getting weary unable to wride But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest
I see a white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my seide
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for One little kiss...
and Felina goodbye
Felina goodbye
Felina goodbye
Felina goodbye
