Out in New Mexico, many years ago There in a shack on the desert, one in a storm Amid streaks of and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a was born
Just as the baby cried, and lightnin' died 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 them to roam Father and mother, both asked one What made her run away, what made Feleena home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to She ran away late one night in the golden gleam She didn't know she'd go but she'd get there And she would find happiness if she 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 little while she that with a smile She could pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife
Rich men her, they dined and they danced her She men and she treated them all just the same A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy Lovely to look at, Feleena was woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get 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 with a rest now and She didn't mind that she knew she would find Her new life would be more exciting than she had been
The stage made it's last stop, up there on the top To let her see all the lights at the foot of the Her was brighter and deep down inside her An uncontrolled beating her young heart just wouldn't be
She got a room at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a form black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at this fine and rare Even the women remarked of the she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was 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 nice would never be seen
It was the way, it was back in Santa Fe Men would fools of themselves at the thought of romance Rosa took heed of the was in need of kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance
A year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' Came a cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed This one was new in town, been seen around He was so different, he wasn't like all of the
Feleena danced close to him, then a rose to him Quickly he to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, wherever folks go see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent her But he was insanely jealous of glances give Inside he was a hurtin', from all of her That was her and that was the way that she lived
She one night, it started a gun fight And after the smoke cleared away on the lay a man Feleena's young lover had shot another And he had to there, so out through the back door he ran
The next day at five o'clock, she heart a shot Quickly she ran to the door was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her ridin' cowboy Low in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in
She ran to meet him to kiss and to him He saw her and motioned her back with a wave of his were flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him fall from the and into the sand
Feleena near him to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his He raised to kiss her and she him whisper "Never me, Feleena it's over, goodbye"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun he wore And screamin' in and placin' the gun to her breast Bury us both deep and maybe we'll 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 woman is cryin', it's not the wind Old tell you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and hear them walkin' You'll hear laugh and you'll 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
