a tragc, western love story used in a few movies.

[debm55]

70. Thank you very much, brush for sharing with us.

[LogDog75]

104. There are two songs that tied to El Paso

I own a CD box set of Marty Robbins' song and he tells the story of the girl in the song El Paso and a man a hundred years later flying over El Paso.

The song about the girl is Feleena (from El Paso) and tells her story from her birth to her going to El Paso and falling in love with anoutlaw.

El Paso City is about a man flying over El Paso and feels a supernatural connection to the outlaw.

[brush]

106. Very interesting. I didn't know about the second song...

I've always loved the Martty Robin's "El Paso."
