Quotes

  • 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
  • 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 Felina I go
    • Marty Robbins, El Paso (song)
