Out in New Mexico, long years ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young couple, a baby was born
Just as the cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon gave light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, both proud of the That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy She ran away from the shack and left them to and mother, both asked one another What her run away, what made Feleena leave home
Tired of the nights, fatherly grieved to strife She ran away late one in the moon's golden gleam She didn't know she'd go but she'd get there And she would find happiness if she would follow her
After she ran away, she went to 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 be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her, dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated all just the same A form that was and rare, dark shining glossy hair Lovely to look at, Feleena was woman's name
Restless in Fe, she had to get away To any where the lights had a much brighter glow One cowboy mentioned the 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 with a now and then She didn't mind that she she would find that Her new life would be more exciting where she had been
The stage made it's last stop, up on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the of the hill Her world was and deep down inside her An uncontrolled her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a form fitting satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at form fine and rare Even the women remarked of the she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was what she was And Rosa's Cantina had lights with love in the That's what she hunted and that's she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice girl never be seen
It was the same way, it was back in Fe Men would make fools of themselves at the of romance Rosa took heed of the place was in of This of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance
A year passed and maybe more and through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so and so handsomely dressed one was new in town, hadn't been seen around He was so different, he like all of the rest
Feleena danced to him, then threw a rose to him Quickly he walked to her and there he sat down And in a day or so, wherever would go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' the town
Six weeks he with her, each minute spent with her But he was insanely of glances she'd give Inside he was a hurtin', from all of her That was her nature and was the way that she lived
She one night, it started a gun fight And after the smoke cleared on the floor lay a man young lover had shot down 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 she ran to the door that was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her wild cowboy Low in the saddle, her cowboy was in fast
She ran to meet him to kiss and to him He saw her and her back with a wave of his hand Bullets were flyin', Feleena was As she saw him fall the saddle and into the sand
Feleena knelt him to hold and to hear 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"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun he wore And screamin' in anger and placin' the gun to her Bury us both deep and maybe find peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, the wind blows If you listen closely at night, hear in the wind A is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old timer's tell you, is callin' for him
hear them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'll but there's no one around be alarmed, there is really no harm there It's only the cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
