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
as the baby cried, thunder 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 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 desert nights, fatherly to strife She ran away late one in the moon's golden gleam She didn't know where go but she'd get there And she would find happiness if she would follow her
After she ran away, she went to Fe And in the year that she there, she learned about life In just a little while she learned with a smile She have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her, dined and they danced her She men and she treated them all just the same A form that was fine and rare, shining glossy hair Lovely to look at, Feleena was 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 town of El They never dancin' and money like whiskey would flow
She bought one way a ticket from Fe Three days and nights on a with a rest now and then She didn't mind that she she would find that Her new life would be more exciting than she had been
The stage made it's last stop, up there on the top To let her see all the lights at the of the hill Her world was brighter and deep down her An beating her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel at the Lily Belle Quickly she to a form fitting black satin dress Every man stopped to stare, at form fine and rare Even the women remarked of the charm she
Dancin' and laughter, was she was after And Cantina had lights with love in the gleam That's what she hunted and 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 would make fools of themselves at the thought of took heed of the place was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to
A year passed and maybe more and then through the doors a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed This one was new in town, hadn't seen around He was so different, he wasn't like all of the
Feleena danced close to him, threw a rose to him Quickly he to her table and there he sat down And in a day or so, wherever folks go They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Feleena the
Six weeks he went her, each minute spent with her But he was insanely of glances she'd give Inside he was a hurtin', all of her flirtin' was her nature and that was the way that she lived
She one night, it started a gun fight And after the cleared away on the floor lay a man Feleena's young lover had shot down 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 ridin' 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 the saddle and into the sand
knelt near 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 me, Feleena it's over, goodbye"
she grabbed for the six gun that he wore And screamin' in and placin' the gun to her breast Bury us deep and maybe we'll find peace And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead chest
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind If you closely at night, you'll hear in the wind A woman is cryin', not the wind sighin' Old tell you, Feleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but there's no one Don't be alarmed, is really no harm there It's only the cowboy, showin' Feleena the town
