Opener

Sides face Grand Square

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

Allemande left, weave the ring.

One night a wild, young cowboy came in, wild as the West Texas wind.

Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing there with Felina, the girl that I loved.

Figure

Heads pass the ocean, and Head ladies trade, centers recycle, and Pass Thru, I say.

Now Touch 1/4, Split Circulate, Boys run around her, Reverse Flutter Wheel,

get her and bring her and then Slide Thru, Swing and you'll all Promenade.

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden, I was in love, but in vain I could tell.

Break

Sides face Grand Square

I challenged his right for the love of this maiden, Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.

A challenge I answered in less than a heartbeat, the stranger laid dead.

Allemande left, weave the ring.

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran. Out where the horses were tied.

I caught a good one, it looked liked it could run, Up on its back and away I did ride.

Figure

Sides pass the ocean, and Side ladies trade, centers recycle, and Pass Thru, I say.

Now Touch 1/4, Split Circulate, Boys run around her, Reverse Flutter Wheel,

get her and bring her and then Slide Thru, Swing and you'll all Promenade.

Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me, tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.

Closer

Sides face Grand Square

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden. My love is stronger than my fear of death.

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle. I feel the bullet go deep

Circle left.

From out of nowhere Felina has found me

Left Allemande, Promenade,

Craddled by two loving arms that I'll die for, One little kiss and Felina, goodbye

One little kiss, and Felina.... goodbye
