Several seasons with their treasons
Wrap the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own -Saint Stephen

Where have all the people gone today

I guess it doesn't matter anyway
I guess it doesn't matter anyway -Morning Dew

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 Felina would whirl -El Paso


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 -El Paso

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 and Felina
Goodbye -El Paso

Make my old memories come alive (Come alive, oh Lordy)
Sing me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die -Sing Me Back Home

Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, "There’s a song my momma sang
Can I hear it before you travel on?" -Sing Me Back Home
