Out in New Mexico, many long ago There in a shack on the desert, one in a storm Amid streaks of lightnin' and desert thunder To a young couple, a baby was born
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' Moon it's light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, proud of the daughter That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by dreams She ran away from the shack and them to roam and mother, both asked one another What made her run away, made Feleena leave home
of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to strife She ran away late one night in the moon's gleam She didn't know where she'd go but get there And she would find happiness if she follow her dream
After she ran away, she to Santa Fe And in the that she stayed there, she learned about life In just a little she learned that with a smile She could have pretty clothes, she could be any wife
Rich men her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated all just the same A form that was fine and rare, shining glossy hair Lovely to at, Feleena was this woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any town the lights had a much brighter glow One mentioned the town of El Paso They never stopped dancin' and money like would flow
She bought one way a ticket from Fe Three days and nights on a stage a rest now and then She didn't mind that she knew she would that Her new life would be exciting than where she had been
The stage made it's last stop, up there on the top To let her see all the at the foot of the hill Her world was brighter and deep down her An uncontrolled beating her young just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel room at the Belle Quickly she to a form fitting black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at this form fine and Even the women remarked of the she possessed
and laughter, was what she was after And Rosa's Cantina had with love in the gleam That's what she hunted and that's she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice girl would be seen
It was the way, it was back in Santa Fe Men would make fools of themselves at the of romance Rosa took heed of the was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to
A year passed and maybe more and through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and so dressed one was new in town, hadn't been seen around He was so different, he wasn't all of the rest
Feleena danced close to him, then a rose to him Quickly he walked to her and there he sat down And in a day or so, folks would go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the
Six weeks he with her, each minute spent with her But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd Inside he was a hurtin', from all of her was her nature and that was the way that she lived
She one night, it started a gun fight And after the cleared away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young had shot down another And he had to leave there, so out through the door he ran
The next day at five o'clock, she a rifle shot Quickly she ran to the door was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her wild cowboy Low in the saddle, her was ridin' in fast
She ran to meet him to kiss and to him He saw her and motioned her back with a of his hand Bullets flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him from the saddle and into the sand
knelt near him to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm that flowed from the wound in his side He raised to kiss her and she heard him "Never forget me, it's over, goodbye"
Quickly she for the six gun that he wore And screamin' in anger and the gun to her breast Bury us both deep and maybe we'll peace And the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind If you listen closely at night, hear in the wind A woman is cryin', not the wind sighin' Old timer's tell you, is callin' for him
You'll hear talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll them laugh and you'll look but there's no one around Don't be alarmed, there is really no harm It's only the young cowboy, showin' the town
