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 young Mexican couple, a baby was
Just as the baby cried, and lightnin' died Moon it's light to the world and the stars did the same and father, both proud of the daughter That Heaven had them, Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen, bothered by dreams She ran from the shack and left them to roam Father and mother, both asked one made her run away, what made Feleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights, grieved to strife She ran away late one night in the moon's 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 stayed there, she learned about In just a little while she that with a smile She have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her, dined and they danced her She understood men and she treated 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 Fe, she had to get away 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 ticket Santa Fe Three days and nights on a 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 stage it's last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all the lights at the foot of the Her world was brighter and deep inside her An uncontrolled beating her heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel room at the Lily Quickly she changed to a fitting black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at this form and rare Even the women of the charm she possessed
Dancin' and laughter, was what she was And Rosa's Cantina had lights love in the gleam That's she hunted and that's what she wanted Rosa's was one place, a nice girl would never be
It was the same way, it was in Santa Fe Men make fools of themselves at the thought of romance took heed of the place was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paid to dance
A passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and so dressed one was new in town, hadn't been seen around He was so different, he wasn't all of the rest
Feleena danced close to him, then a rose to him Quickly he walked to her table and he sat down And in a day or so, folks would go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the
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 nature and that was the way she lived
She flirted one night, it a gun fight And after the smoke away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young lover had shot another And he had to leave there, so out the back door he ran
The next day at five o'clock, she a rifle shot Quickly she ran to the door 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 and to greet him He saw her and motioned her with a wave of his hand Bullets were flyin', was cryin' As she saw him fall from the saddle and into the
Feleena knelt near him to hold and to him When she felt the blood that flowed from the wound in his side He raised to kiss her and she him whisper "Never forget me, Feleena over, goodbye"
