It`s A Freezing In El Paso Lyrics

I can hear the footsteps walkin' by my bedside Lord she's leavin'

I can smell her perfume driftin' through my room

If I try to make her stay I'd know she couldn't even hear me

Might as well be on the darkside of the Moon

Cause it's freezin' in El Paso in the summer

All the sweet things here are dyin' on the vine

Wish that woman could have took it when the hard times came around

Wish her winter hadn't spoil my summertime

[ ac.guitar ]

So when her plane takes off for Memphis I'll be sittin' in some tavern

I'll be washin' out the corners of my mind

When she's in the wild blue yonder I'll be feedin' that old jukebox

Playin' every happy song that I can find

Cause it's freezin' in El Paso...
