Out in New Mexico, many long ago in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert To a Mexican couple, a baby was born
Just as the baby cried, and lightnin' died gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same Mother and father, both of the daughter That had sent them, Feleena was this baby's name
she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams She ran away from the shack and left them to and mother, both asked one another What made her run away, what made leave home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly to strife She ran away late one night in the golden gleam She didn't know where go but she'd get there And she find happiness if she would follow her dream
she ran away, she went to Santa Fe And in the year that she there, she learned about life In just a little while she learned that a smile She have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her, they and they danced her She men and she treated them all just the same A form that was and rare, dark shining glossy hair Lovely to at, Feleena was this woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any town the lights had a much brighter glow One cowboy mentioned the town of El They never stopped dancin' and money whiskey would flow
She one way a ticket from Santa Fe Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and She didn't mind that she knew she would find Her new would be more exciting than where she had been
The stage made it's stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the foot of the Her was brighter and deep down inside her An uncontrolled beating her young just wouldn't be still
She got a room at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a form black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at form fine and rare Even the women of the charm she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was she was after And Rosa's Cantina had lights love in the gleam what she hunted and that's what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice girl never be seen
It was the same way, it was in Santa Fe Men make fools of themselves at the thought of romance Rosa took heed of the place was in of This kind of excitement, so she paid to dance
A year passed and maybe more and then 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 all of the rest
Feleena close to him, then threw a rose to him Quickly he walked to her table and he sat down And in a day or so, folks would go see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
Six he went with her, each minute spent with her But he was insanely jealous of she'd give he was a hurtin', from all of her flirtin' That was her and that was the way that she lived
She flirted one night, it started a gun And the smoke cleared away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young had shot down another And he had to leave there, so out 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 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 motioned her back with a wave of his Bullets flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him fall from the saddle and the sand
Feleena knelt near him to hold and to him When she the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side He raised to kiss her and she him whisper "Never me, Feleena it's over, goodbye"
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he And in anger and placin' the gun to her breast Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's
Out in El Paso, the wind blows If you listen closely at night, you'll in the wind A woman is cryin', not the wind sighin' Old tell you, Feleena 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 Don't be alarmed, there is no harm there It's the young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
