Out in New Mexico, many years ago There in a shack on the desert, one night in a streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a baby was
as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon gave it's light to the and the stars did the same Mother and father, both proud of the That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by dreams She ran away from the shack and left to roam and mother, both asked one another What her run away, what made Feleena leave home
Tired of the nights, fatherly grieved to strife She ran away late one night in the moon's golden She know where she'd 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 stayed there, she about life In just a little she learned that with a smile She could 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 fine and rare, dark glossy hair Lovely to look at, Feleena was woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any town where the lights had a much glow One cowboy mentioned the of El Paso They never dancin' and money like whiskey would flow
She bought one way a from Santa Fe Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and She didn't mind that she knew she would that Her new life would be more exciting 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 of the hill Her world was brighter and deep down her An uncontrolled beating her young heart just wouldn't be
She got a hotel at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to a form fitting black dress Every man stopped to stare, at form fine and rare Even the remarked of the charm she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was she was after And Rosa's had lights with love in the gleam That's what she hunted and that's she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice would never be seen
It was the way, it was back in Santa Fe Men would fools of themselves at the thought of romance Rosa heed of the place was in need of kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance
A year passed and maybe more and then through the doors Came a young so tall and so handsomely dressed 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 and there he sat down And in a day or so, folks would go They'd see this young cowboy, Feleena the town
Six he went 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 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 Quickly she ran to the door was facin' the pass 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 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 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 maybe we'll find And the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the blows If you listen closely at night, hear in the wind A is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old tell you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear 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 really no there It's only the young cowboy, showin' the town
