Out in New Mexico, long years ago There in a on the desert, one night in a storm Amid streaks of lightnin' and desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a baby was
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' Moon gave it's light to the world and the did the same Mother and father, both of the daughter That Heaven had sent them, Feleena was baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy She ran away from the shack and left them to Father and mother, both one another What made her run away, made Feleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to She ran late one night in the moon's golden gleam She didn't know where she'd go but get there And she would find happiness if she would follow her
After she ran away, she to Santa Fe And in the year she stayed there, she learned about life In just a little while she that with a smile She could have pretty clothes, she could be any wife
Rich men romanced her, dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated all just the same A form was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair Lovely to at, Feleena was this woman's name
Restless in Fe, she had to get away To any town where the had a much brighter glow One cowboy mentioned the town of El They never stopped dancin' and money whiskey would flow
She bought one way a ticket Santa Fe Three days and nights on a stage with a now and then She didn't mind that she knew she would that Her new would be more 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 down inside her An uncontrolled beating her young heart just wouldn't be
She got a room at the Lily Belle she changed to a form fitting black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at this form and rare Even the women remarked of the charm she
Dancin' and laughter, was 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 same way, it was back in Fe Men would make fools of themselves at the thought of took heed of the place was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to
A year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed This one was new in town, hadn't been seen He was so different, he wasn't all of the rest
Feleena danced close to him, threw a rose to him he walked to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, wherever folks go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the
Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent her But he was insanely jealous of glances give Inside he was a hurtin', all of her flirtin' was her nature and that was the way that she lived
She flirted one night, it a gun fight And the smoke cleared away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young lover had shot another And he had to leave there, so out through the back he ran
The day at five o'clock, she heart a rifle shot Quickly she ran to the that was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her ridin' cowboy Low in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in
She ran to him to kiss and to greet him He saw her and her back with a wave of his hand were flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him fall from the and into the sand
Feleena knelt near him to hold and to him When she the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side He raised to her and she heard him whisper "Never forget me, it's over, goodbye"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he And in anger and placin' the gun to her breast us both deep and maybe we'll find peace And the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, the wind blows If you listen closely at night, you'll 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 them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and look but there's no one around Don't be alarmed, is really no harm there It's only the young cowboy, Feleena the town
