Out in New Mexico, long years ago There in a shack on the desert, one in a storm Amid of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young couple, a baby was born
Just as the baby cried, and lightnin' died Moon gave light to the world and the stars did the same and father, both proud of the daughter That Heaven had sent them, was this baby's name
she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams She ran away the shack and left them to roam and mother, both asked one another What made her run away, what 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 she'd go but she'd get And she would happiness if she would follow her dream
she ran away, she went to Santa Fe And in the year she stayed there, she learned about life In just a little while she learned that a smile She could have pretty clothes, she could be any wife
Rich men her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she them all just the same A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy Lovely to look at, was this woman's name
Restless in Fe, she had to get away To any town where the lights had a much glow One mentioned the town of El Paso They never stopped and money like whiskey would flow
She one way a ticket from Santa 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 made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the of the hill Her was brighter and deep down inside her An uncontrolled her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a room at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a form fitting black satin Every man stopped to stare, at form fine and rare Even the women remarked of the charm she
and laughter, was what she was after And Rosa's Cantina had lights with love in the That's what she hunted and what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice girl would be seen
It was the way, it was back in Santa Fe Men would make fools of themselves at the thought of Rosa took of the place was in need of kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance
A passed 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 close to him, then threw a to him Quickly he to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, wherever folks go They'd see young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
Six weeks he with her, each minute 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 flirted one night, it a gun fight And after the cleared away on the floor lay a man young lover had shot down another And he had to there, so out through the back door he ran
The day at five o'clock, she heart a rifle shot she ran to the door that was facin' 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 were flyin', was cryin' As she saw him fall the saddle and into the sand
Feleena near him to hold and to hear him When she felt the blood that flowed from the wound in his side He raised to kiss her and she heard him "Never forget me, Feleena over, goodbye"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he And screamin' in anger and placin' the gun to her Bury us both deep and maybe we'll peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's
Out in El Paso, the wind blows If you closely at night, you'll hear in the wind A woman is cryin', it's not the sighin' Old timer's you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but no one around Don't be alarmed, there is no harm there It's the young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
