Answer
Marty Robbins
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
Feleena
would
whirl
Blacker
than
night
were
the
eyes
of
Feleena
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
Feleena
the
girl
that
I
love
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
in
silence
Shocked
by
the
foul
evil
deed
I
had
done
Many
thoughts
raced
through
my
mind
as
I
stood
there
I
had
but
on
chance
and
that
was
to
run
Out
through
the
back
door
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
may
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
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
back
door
Something
is
dreadfully
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't
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
and
Feleena
goodbye
