Out in New Mexico, many long ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert To a young Mexican couple, a baby was
Just as the cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon it's light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, both proud of the Heaven had sent them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, by crazy dreams She ran away from the and left them to roam Father and mother, asked one another What made her run away, what Feleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly to strife She ran away late one night in the golden gleam She know where she'd go but she'd get there And she find happiness if she would follow her dream
she ran away, she went to Santa Fe And in the year that she stayed there, she about life In just a while she learned that with a smile She could have pretty clothes, she could be any wife
Rich men romanced her, they dined and danced her She understood men and she treated all just the same A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy Lovely to look at, Feleena was this name
in Santa Fe, she had to get away To any town where the lights had a much glow One cowboy mentioned the town of El They never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey would
She bought one way a ticket from Fe Three days and nights on a stage a rest now and then She mind that she knew she would find that Her new life would be more exciting where she had been
The made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the of the hill Her world was brighter and deep down her An beating her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel room at the Belle Quickly she changed to a form fitting satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at form fine and rare the women remarked of the charm she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was what she was And Rosa's Cantina had lights love in the gleam That's what she and that's what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a girl would never be seen
It was the same way, it was in Santa Fe Men would make fools of at the thought of romance took heed of the place was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to
A year passed and maybe and then 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 like all of the
Feleena close to him, then threw a rose to him Quickly he walked to her table and he sat down And in a day or so, wherever folks go They'd see young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent her But he was jealous of glances she'd give Inside he was a hurtin', from all of her That was her and that was the way that she lived
She flirted one night, it started a gun 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 the back door he ran
The next day at o'clock, she heart a rifle shot she ran to the door that was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her ridin' 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 a wave of his hand were flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him fall from the and into the sand
Feleena knelt him to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm blood that flowed the wound in his side He raised to her and she heard him whisper "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 find And the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind If you listen at night, you'll hear in the wind A is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old timer's you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and you'll hear them You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but no one around Don't be alarmed, there is really no there It's only the young cowboy, showin' the town
