Out in New Mexico, many long ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a Mexican couple, a baby was born
Just as the baby cried, and lightnin' died Moon it's light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, both of the daughter That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy She ran away from the and left them to roam Father and mother, both one another What made her run away, what Feleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights, grieved to strife She ran late one night in the moon's golden gleam She didn't know where she'd go but she'd get And she would find happiness if she would follow her
After she ran away, she went to Fe And in the year that she stayed there, she learned about In just a little she learned that with a smile She could have clothes, she could 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 that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair Lovely to at, Feleena was this 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 town of El They never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey would
She bought one way a ticket from Fe Three and nights on a stage with a rest now and then She didn't mind that she knew she would that Her new life would be more exciting than where she had
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 brighter and deep down her An uncontrolled beating her heart just wouldn't be still
She got a room at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a fitting black satin dress man stopped to stare, at this form fine and rare Even the women of the charm she possessed
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 was one place, a nice girl would never be seen
It was the same way, it was in Santa Fe Men would make of themselves at the thought of romance took heed of the place was in need of This kind of excitement, so she Feleena to dance
A year passed and maybe more and through the swingin' doors Came a cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed This one was new in town, hadn't been seen He was so different, he wasn't like all of the
danced close to him, then threw a rose to him Quickly he to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, folks would go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the
Six weeks he went with her, each spent with her But he was insanely of glances she'd give he was a hurtin', from all of her flirtin' That was her nature and was the way that she lived
She one night, it started a gun fight And after the smoke away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young lover had shot down And he had to leave there, so out through the back he ran
The next day at five o'clock, she heart a rifle she ran to the door that was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her wild ridin' 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 with a wave of his hand Bullets were flyin', was cryin' As she saw him from the saddle and into the sand
Feleena near him to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm blood flowed from the wound in his side He to kiss her and she heard him whisper "Never me, Feleena 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 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 closely at night, you'll in the wind A woman is cryin', not the wind sighin' Old timer's tell you, Feleena is for him
You'll hear them talkin' and 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 young cowboy, Feleena the town
