Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Night time would find me in Rosie's cantina
Music would play, and Felina would whirl
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 heart of Felina
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.
Out through the back door of Rosie'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.
Now I think I'll find me a pick-up
Make it out to L.A.
Find a little place and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.

She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.
The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.
Something is dreadfully wrong, as I crumple
There is pain in my side and blood everywhere
I'm crumpled
And I feel Felina she kneels down by my side
Once more in the arms of my loved one
Then kiss Felina goodbye
He can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
He can't begin to say.
