Out in New Mexico, long years ago There in a shack on the desert, one in a storm streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a was born
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' Moon gave it's to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, proud of the daughter That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams She ran away from the shack and them to roam and mother, both asked one another What made her run away, what made Feleena home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to She ran away one night in the moon's golden gleam She know where 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 that she stayed there, she learned about life In a little while she learned that with a smile She could have pretty clothes, she could be any man's
Rich men romanced her, dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated all just the same A form that was fine and rare, shining glossy hair Lovely to look at, Feleena was this name
in Santa Fe, she had to get away To any town where the had a much brighter glow One cowboy mentioned the town of El They never stopped dancin' and money whiskey would flow
She bought one way a from Santa Fe Three days and on a stage with a rest now and then She didn't that she knew she would find that Her new life be more exciting than where she had been
The made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the foot of the Her world was and deep down inside her An uncontrolled beating her young heart wouldn't be still
She got a room at the Lily Belle Quickly she to a form fitting black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at this form and rare Even the remarked 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 what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice 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 kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance
A year and maybe more and then through the swingin' doors Came a young so tall and so handsomely dressed This one was new in town, hadn't seen around He was so different, he wasn't all of the rest
Feleena danced to him, then threw a rose to him Quickly he to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, wherever folks go They'd see this young cowboy, Feleena the town
Six weeks he went with her, each spent with her But he was insanely of glances she'd give 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 after the smoke away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young had shot down another And he had to leave there, so out through the back 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 was ridin' 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 from the saddle and the sand
Feleena knelt him to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his He raised to her and she heard him whisper "Never forget me, Feleena over, goodbye"
Quickly she for the six gun that he wore And screamin' in anger and the gun to her breast Bury us both deep and maybe find peace And the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the blows If you closely at night, you'll hear in the wind A woman is cryin', not the wind sighin' Old timer's you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and you'll them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but no one around Don't be alarmed, there is really no there It's only the young cowboy, showin' the town
