Marty Robbins - El Paso City

From thirty thousand feet above the desert floor I see it there below
A city with the legend the west Texas city of El Paso
Where long ago I heard a song about a Texas cowboy and a girl
And a little place called Rose's where he used to go and watch this beauty 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 every 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

El Paso City by the Rio Grande
The cowboy lived and rode away but love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die in that El Paso sand
El Paso City by the Rio Grande
I try not to let you cross my mind but still I find
There's such a mystery in the song that I don't understand
