El Paso (King of the Hill O.S.T.) Songtext

von Old 97's

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

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
