It's A Freezing In El Paso Lyrics - Bobby Bare

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...
