Out in New Mexico, many years ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a Amid of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a was born
Just as the baby cried, thunder and died Moon gave it's light to the world and the did the same and father, both proud of the daughter That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, by crazy dreams She ran away from the and left them to roam and mother, both asked one another What made her run away, what made leave home
of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to strife She ran away late one night in the moon's gleam She didn't where she'd go but she'd get there And she would find happiness if she would follow her
she ran away, she went to Santa Fe And in the that she stayed there, she learned about life In just a little while she learned with a smile She could pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife
men romanced her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she them all just the same A form that was and rare, dark shining glossy hair to look 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 mentioned the town of El Paso They never stopped dancin' and money whiskey would flow
She one way a ticket from Santa Fe Three days and nights on a stage a rest now and then She didn't mind that she knew she find that Her new life would be exciting than where she had been
The stage made it's stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the of the hill Her was brighter and deep down inside her An beating her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel room at the Lily Quickly she to a form fitting black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at this form fine and Even the remarked of the charm she possessed
and laughter, was what she was after And Rosa's had lights with love in the gleam That's what she hunted and what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a girl would never be seen
It was the same way, it was back in Fe Men would fools of themselves at the thought of romance Rosa took heed of the was in need of This kind of excitement, so she Feleena to dance
A year passed and more and then through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely This one was new in town, hadn't been seen He was so different, he wasn't like all of the
Feleena danced close to him, threw a rose to him Quickly he walked to her table and there he sat And in a day or so, wherever folks go They'd see young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
Six weeks he went with her, minute spent with her But he was insanely jealous of she'd give Inside he was a hurtin', from all of her That was her nature and that was the way that she
She flirted one night, it started a gun And after the smoke cleared on the floor lay a man Feleena's young lover had 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 that was facin' the She saw her cowboy, her wild cowboy Low in the saddle, her cowboy was in fast
She ran to meet him to and to greet him He saw her and motioned her back with a wave of his Bullets flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him fall from the and into the sand
Feleena knelt near him to and to hear him When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his He raised to kiss her and she heard him "Never forget me, it's over, goodbye"
she grabbed for the six gun that he wore And screamin' in anger and placin' the gun to her 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 at night, you'll hear in the wind A is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old tell you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and you'll hear walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but there's no one Don't be alarmed, there is really no there It's only the young cowboy, Feleena the town
