  EL PASO CITY

  Words and music by Marty Robbins

  

  [C] From thirty thousand feet above

  The [F] desert floor, I see it there be-[C] low

  A city with a legend -

  The [F] west Texas city of El [C] Paso

  Where long ago I heard a song

  A-[F] bout a Texas cowboy and a [C] girl

  And a little place called Rosa's

  Where he [G] used to go and watch this beauty [C] whirl.

  

  I don't recall who sang the song

  But I recall the story that I heard

  And as I look down on the city,

  I remember each and ev'ry word

  The singer sang about a jealous cowboy

  And the way he used a gun

  To kill another cowboy

  Then he had to leave El Paso on the run.

  

  [C7] El Paso [F] Cit-y, by the Rio [C] Grand-e

  [G] The cowboy lived and rode away

  But love was strong he couldn't stay

  He rode back just to die in that [C] El Paso sand [C7]

  El Paso [F] Cit-y, by the Rio [C] Grand-e

  [G] I try not to let you cross my mind

  But still I find there's just a mystery

  In the song that I don't [C] understand.

  

  My mind is down there somewhere

  As I fly above the badlands of New Mexico

  I can't explain why I should know

  The very trail he rode back to El Paso

  Can it be that man can disappear

  >From life and live another time

  And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think

  That you yourself lived in that other time.

  

  Somewhere in my deepest thoughts

  Familar scenes and memories unfold

  These wild and unexplained emotions

  That I've had so long but I have never told

  Like every time I fly up thru the heavens

  And I see you there below

  I get the feeling sometime

  In another world I lived in El Paso.

  

  El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e

  Could it be that I could be

  The cowboy in this mystery

  That died there in that desert sand so long ago

  El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-e

  A voice tells me to go and see

  Another voice keeps tellin' me

  Maybe death awaits me in El Paso

  

  El Paso Cit-y.
