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 Feleena would whirl

Blacker than night where 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 jolly old stranger came in
Wild as the cold Northern wind
A dashing and daring red suit he was wearing
And wicked Feleena, was parked on his lap


So in anger
I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Back went his hand for the sack that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The jolly old 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 one chance and that was to run

Up on the rooftop of Rosa's I ran
Up where the reindeer were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did fly

Just as fast as
I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Over 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 saddle 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 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 midget cowboys
Off to my left are 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 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 smoke from the leading elve's rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

>From out of nowhere Feleena has found me
Slapping my cheek as she kneels by my side
"His last words might clue you into his intentions..."
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night"
