Ronnie Robbins is here. _ _ _
Ronnie, your dad's song, _ _ I'll say it like this.
_ _ I only knew the opening _ and the closing _ as a disc jockey.
_ _ _ Because it's the one you would put on when you could run down the hall and go to the bathroom.
It was the only song long enough _ in radio that you could _ go to the bathroom on.
_ Well.
_ [F#] _
There you go.
_ _ I have to go.
Would you play that song?
Oh, sure.
We can.
Okay.
Well, you know, it's ironic that I'd be here at Larry's Diner.
Because, you know, my career is pretty well kept secret, as a lot of you probably don't know. _ _ _ _ _ _
But, you know, I've had people say they like to hear me sing, and I've heard people say
they like to hear me eat.
So I think it's very _ ironic that I'm here, because usually most people say they'd rather
hear me eat.
So, _ but Jimmy is going to do the intro, and this you may have heard it.
Talk about famous intros.
One hero that he forgot to mention.
Well, I mentioned him on Tear Time.
This song right here of your dad's was how long?
_ _ 437.
On one version.
Grady Martin played, and everybody thought it was like a classical gut string guitar
he played it on.
It was a steel string F-hole guitar from your dad's office, an old F-phone.
_ But he played for how long?
Four and a half?
_ Four and a half minutes.
Without repeating one lick. _
Every lick is different now.
Today it's going to be a little [Dm] different.
_ _ [N] _ You'll hear lots of repeats.
It needs to be a three minute and thirty second song.
Everything _ _ about the song will be a little [D] different. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ Yeah!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Out in the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso, [A] I fell in love with a [D] Mexican girl. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ Night time would find [Em] me in Rose's Cantina.
_ [A] Music would play and Felina [D] would whirl. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Blacker than night were [Em] the eyes of Felina.
_ [A] Wicked and evil while casting [D] a spell.
Who's that bus boy?
There you are. _
_ _ _ My love was deep for [E] this [Em] Mexican maiden.
[A] I was in love but in vain I [D] could tell. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
One night a wild young cowboy came in.
_ Wild as the West [D] Texas _ wind. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing.
With wicked Felina the girl that [G] I loved. _
So [A] in _ _ anger [D] I challenged his right for [Em] the love of this maiden.
[A] _ Downed with his hand for the gun that [D] he wore. _ _ _ _
_ _ My challenge was answered in [Em] less than a heartbeat.
[A] Some young stranger lay dead on [D] the floor.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Just for a moment [Em] I stood there in silence.
[A] Shocked by the foul evil deed I [D] had done. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Many thoughts raced through [Em] my mind as I stood there.
[A] I had but one chance and that was [D] to run. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Something is _ dreadfully wrong for I feel.
A deep burning pain in [D] my _ _ _ _ _ _ side. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Though I am trying to stay in this saddle.
I'm getting weary unable [G] to ride.
But [A] my _ love [D] for Nadina is strong and [Em] I rise where I've fallen.
[A]
Though I am weary I can't [D] stop to rest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I see the [Em] white puff of smoke from the rifle.
[A] I feel the bullet go deep in [D] my chest. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ From out of nowhere [Em] Nadina has found me.
[A] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my [D] side.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Cradled by two [E] loving arms that I'll die [B] for.
One little kiss and [A] _
Felina,
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Goodbye. _ _ _ _ _
