Out in New Mexico, many 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 was born
Just as the cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon it's light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, proud of the daughter That Heaven had sent them, was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by dreams She ran away from the shack and them to roam Father and mother, both asked one made her run away, what made Feleena leave home
Tired of the nights, fatherly grieved to strife She ran late one night in the moon's golden gleam She didn't know where go but she'd get there And she would find if she would follow her dream
After she ran away, she went to 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 clothes, she could be any man's wife
men romanced her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated them all just the A that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair Lovely to look at, Feleena was this woman's
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any town where the had a much brighter glow One cowboy the town of El Paso never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey would flow
She bought one way a from Santa Fe Three days and nights on a stage a rest now and then She didn't mind that she knew she would find Her new life would be more exciting where she had been
The stage made last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the at the foot 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 black satin Every man stopped to stare, at this form fine and Even the women remarked of the she possessed
and laughter, was what she was after And Rosa's Cantina had with love in the gleam That's what she and that's 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 make fools of at the thought of romance Rosa took of the place was in need of This of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance
A year passed and maybe and then through the swingin' doors a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed This one was new in town, hadn't seen around He was so different, he like all of the rest
Feleena danced close to him, then a rose to him Quickly he walked to her table and he sat down And in a day or so, wherever would go They'd see this young cowboy, Feleena the town
Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent her But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd Inside he was a hurtin', all of her flirtin' That was her nature and that was the way that she
She one night, it started a gun fight And the smoke cleared away 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 the pass She saw her cowboy, her wild ridin' Low in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in
She ran to him to kiss and to greet him He saw her and motioned her back a wave of his hand 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 she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side He raised to kiss her and she him whisper "Never forget me, Feleena over, goodbye"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he And screamin' in and placin' the gun to her breast Bury us both deep and we'll find peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind If you listen at night, you'll hear in the wind A woman is cryin', it's not the sighin' Old timer's tell you, is callin' for him
hear them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear them and you'll look but there's no one around be alarmed, there is really no harm there It's only the cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
