| Marty Robbins - El Paso |
 |
EL PASO
is a country and western ballad written and
originally recorded by Marty Robbins, and
first released on Gunfighter Ballads and
Trail Songs in September 1959. It was
released as a single the following month, and
became a major hit on both the country and
pop music charts, reaching #1 in both at the
start of 1960. It won the Grammy Award for
Best Country & Western Recording in 1961, and
remains Robbins' best-known song. It is
widely considered a genre classic for its
gripping narrative, haunting harmonies by
Tompall and the Glaser Brothers and the
eloquent Spanish guitar accompaniment by
Grady Martin that lends the recording a
distinctive Tex-Mex feel. (Info from
Wikipedia)
--LYRICS--
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime 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 a spell
My love 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
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
[THIS VERSE IS MISSING!!! (See NOTE #1 at the
end)
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 one 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 onwards
Down off the hill to Felina I go
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen and 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 stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride
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 the 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 side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss sent Fellina goodbye

NOTE #1: It was not noticed that the verse,
"Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
shocked by the foul evil deed I had done...."
was missing until after posting. Possible
reasons it may be missing:
1) Early radio censorship (1960) in certain
regions of the US. (Blatant act of "evil" in
a song = cut out the offending part of the
song before broadcasting on the airwaves.)
2) Some radio stations may have requested a
shorter version of this, for the time, VERY
long song to fit in another commercial
sooner. In fact, many radio stations did
initially complain about the length of the
song. However, it turned into such a
phenomenal hit, they had no choice but to
play it.
