> [@SCAdian](#): > > > [@knoodler](#): > > > > 1. Felina (“El Paso”) > > Nitpick: Feleena I’m familiar with the Marty Robbins’ _Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs_ version of “El Paso”, and when I Google’d “marty robbins el paso lyrics” it came back with Felina. Other websites confirmed this: [Scribd](https://www.scribd.com/document/823330821/el-paso-lyrics); [Street Directory](https://www.streetdirectory.com/lyricadvisor/song/plcufp/el_paso_full_length_version/); [A to Z Lyrics](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/martyrobbins/elpaso.html); and [YouTube (with lyrics added onscreen)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReAYR6LrtIg). The Google lyrics sourced Musixmatch, but the website was unable to produce them when I went there. To be fair, [Genius Lyrics](https://genius.com/Marty-robbins-el-paso-lyrics), the top search return, spells it as “Feleena.” I’ve also seen it as “Falina” when covered by other artists. ---
