El Paso - A Cappella Players

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Ding ding

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina

Music would play and Felina would whirl

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

Wicked and evil while casting a spell

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden

I was in love but in vain

I could tell

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

One night a wild young cowboy came in

Wild as the West Texas wind

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

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

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

My challenge was answered

In less than a heart beat

The handsome young stranger

Lay dead on the floor

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

Out where the horses were tied

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

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 bad lands of New Mexico

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

Everything's gone in life nothing is left

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

It's been so long

Since I've seen the young maiden

My love is stronger than my fear of death

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

I saddled up and away I did go

Riding alone in the dark

Ding ding ding ding ding ding

Maybe tomorrow

A bullet could 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 Felina 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 back door

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

A deep burning pain in my side

It's getting hot and to stay in my saddle

I'm getting weary

Unable to ride

But my love for

Felina is strong I rise where I've fallen

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest

La

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

La

From out of nowhere Felina 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 and Felina goodbye
