Out in New Mexico, many long ago in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm Amid of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a baby was
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 sent them, was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy She ran away from the shack and left to roam Father and mother, asked one another What made her run away, what made leave home
Tired of the desert nights, fatherly grieved to She ran away one night in the moon's golden gleam She didn't know where she'd go but she'd get And she find happiness 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 that with a smile She could have clothes, she could be any man's wife
men romanced her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated them all just the A form was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair Lovely to look at, Feleena was this woman's
Restless in Santa Fe, she had to get To any town where the lights had a much brighter One cowboy mentioned the town of El They never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey flow
She bought one way a from Santa Fe days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then She didn't mind she knew she would find that Her new life would be more exciting than she had been
The stage made it's last stop, up 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 beating her young heart 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 this form fine and the women remarked of the charm she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was she was after And Rosa's Cantina had lights with in the gleam That's what she hunted and that's what she Rosa's was one place, a girl 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 heed of the was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to
A year and maybe more and then through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely one was new in town, hadn't been seen around He was so different, he wasn't all of the rest
Feleena close to him, then threw a rose to him he walked to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, folks would go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' the town
Six weeks he went with her, minute spent with her But he was insanely jealous of glances give Inside he was a hurtin', from all of her That was her nature and that was the way that she
She flirted one night, it a gun fight And after the smoke cleared away on the lay a man Feleena's lover had shot down another And he had to there, so out through the back door he ran
The next day at five o'clock, she heart a shot Quickly she ran to the that was facin' the pass She saw her cowboy, her ridin' cowboy 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 from the saddle and into the sand
Feleena knelt him to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm blood that from the wound in his side He raised to kiss her and she heard him "Never forget me, it's over, goodbye"
Quickly she for the six gun that he wore And in anger and placin' the gun to her breast Bury us both and maybe we'll find peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's
Out in El Paso, the wind blows If you listen at night, you'll hear in the wind A is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old tell you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and you'll them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'll but there's no one around Don't be alarmed, there is really no harm only the young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
