Out in New Mexico, long years ago in a shack 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, and lightnin' died Moon it's light to the world and the stars did the same and father, both proud of the daughter That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams She ran from the shack and left them to roam Father and mother, both one another made her run away, what made Feleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to She ran away late one night in the moon's golden 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 there, she learned about life In just a little while she that with a smile She have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her, they dined and they her She men and she treated them all just the same A form that was fine and rare, shining glossy hair to look at, Feleena was this woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any where the lights had a much brighter glow One cowboy 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 more exciting than she had been
The made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the at the foot of the hill Her was brighter and deep down inside her An uncontrolled beating her young just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a form fitting black dress Every man stopped to stare, at this form fine and Even the women remarked of the charm she
and laughter, was what she was after And Rosa's Cantina had lights love in the gleam That's what she hunted and that's what she Rosa's was one place, a nice girl would never be
It was the way, it was back in Santa Fe Men make fools of themselves at the thought of romance Rosa took heed of the place was in of This kind of excitement, so she paid to dance
A year passed and maybe and then through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and so 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, then 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 this young cowboy, Feleena the town
Six he went with her, each minute spent with her But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd he was a hurtin', from all of her flirtin' That was her nature and that was the way that she
She flirted one night, it started a gun And after the 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 next day at o'clock, she heart a rifle shot Quickly she ran to the that was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her wild cowboy Low in the saddle, her cowboy was in fast
She ran to him to kiss and to greet him He saw her and her back with a wave of his hand Bullets were flyin', was cryin' As she saw him from the saddle and into the sand
Feleena knelt near him to hold and to him When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the in his side He raised to her and she heard him whisper "Never forget me, it's over, goodbye"
she grabbed for the six gun that he wore And screamin' in anger and the gun to her breast Bury us deep and maybe we'll find peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind If you listen closely at night, you'll in the wind A woman is cryin', it's not the wind Old timer's tell you, Feleena is for him
You'll hear talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear them and you'll look but there's no one around Don't be alarmed, is really no harm there It's the young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
