Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

Up on its back, and away I did ride

Just as fast

since I've seen the young maiden

Bridge 3

Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me

Tonight nothing's worse

than this pain in my heart
A7
And at last
Verse 6
D
Em
here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso

Down off the hill to Feleena I go

A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
D7

I'm getting weary, unable to ride
A7
But my love
Verse 8
D
Em
for Feleena is strong and I rise where I've fallen
A7
D
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest
D
Em
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
A7
D
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
Verse 9
D
Em
From out of nowhere Feleena has found me
A7
D
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
D
Em
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
A7
D
One little kiss, and Feleena, goodbye
