Out in New Mexico, long years ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud thunder To a Mexican couple, a baby was born
as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the Mother and father, proud of the daughter That Heaven had sent them, Feleena was baby's name
When she was seventeen, by crazy dreams She ran away the shack and left them to roam Father and mother, both asked one What made her run away, what made Feleena home
Tired of the desert nights, 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 if she would follow her dream
After she ran away, she went to Fe And in the that she stayed there, she learned about life In just a little while she learned with a smile She could have clothes, she could be any man's wife
Rich men her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated all just the same A form that was fine and rare, dark shining hair Lovely to look at, was this woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any town where the lights had a much brighter One mentioned the town of El Paso They never stopped dancin' and like whiskey would flow
She one way a ticket from Santa Fe days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then She didn't that she knew she would find that Her new would be more exciting than where she had been
The stage made last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the of the hill Her world was brighter and 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 to stare, at this form fine and rare Even the women remarked of the she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was she was after And Rosa's Cantina had lights with in the gleam That's she hunted and that's what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice girl would be seen
It was the same way, it was in Santa Fe Men would make 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 more and then through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely 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, threw a rose to him Quickly he to her table 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 went with her, each minute spent her But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd 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 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 day at five o'clock, she heart a rifle shot Quickly she ran to the door that was facin' the She saw her cowboy, her wild cowboy 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', Feleena was As she saw him fall the saddle and into the sand
Feleena knelt near him to and to hear him When she felt the warm blood that flowed the wound in his side He to kiss her and she heard him whisper "Never forget me, it's over, goodbye"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun he wore And in anger and placin' the gun to her breast Bury us both deep and maybe we'll peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, the wind blows If you listen closely at night, you'll in the wind A is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old timer's you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear laugh and you'll look but there's no one around Don't be alarmed, there is no harm there It's only the young cowboy, showin' Feleena the
