Verse 1
E
Out in New Mexico,
many long years ago
There in a shack on the desert,
B
one night in a storm
Amid streaks of lightnin'
and loud desert thunder
To a young Mexican couple,
E
a baby was born
E
Just as the baby cried,
thunder and lightnin' died
E
Moon gave its light to the world
A
and the stars did the same
Mother and Father,
E
both proud of the daughter
That heaven had sent them,
B
E
Feleena was this baby's name
Verse 2
E
When she was seventeen,
bothered by crazy dreams
She ran away from the shack
B
and left them to roam
Father and Mother,
both asked one another
What made her run away,
E
what made Feleena leave home?
E
Tired of the desert nights,
poverty, grief, and strife
E
She went her way late one night
A
in the moon's golden gleam
E
She didn't know where she'd go,
but she'd get there
And she would find happiness,
B
E
if she would follow her dream
Verse 3
E
After she ran away,
she went to Santa Fe
And in the year that she stayed there,
B
she learned about life
In just a little while,
she learned that with a smile
She could have pretty clothes,
E
she could be any man's wife
E
Rich men romanced her,
they dined and they danced her
She understood men
E
A
and she treated them all just the same
A form that was fine and rare,
E
dark shining glossy hair
Lovely to look at
B
E
Feleena was this woman's name
Verse 4
E
Restless in Santa Fe,
she had to get away
To any town where the lights
B
had a much brighter glow
One cowboy mentioned
the town of El Paso
They never stopped dancin'
E
and money like whiskey did flow
E
She bought a one-way,
a ticket from Santa Fe
E
Three days and nights on a stage
A
with a rest now and then
She didn't mind that,
E
she knew she would find that
B
Her new life would be more exciting
E
than where she had been
Verse 5
E
The stage made its last stop,
up there on the mountaintop
And let her see all of the lights
B
at the foot of the hill
Her world was brighter
and deep down inside her
An uncontrolled beating,
E
her young heart just wouldn't be still
E
She got a hotel,
a room at the Lily Belle
Quickly she changed
E
A
to a form-fitting black satin dress
Ev'ry man stopped to stare
E
at this form fine and rare
Even the women
B
E
remarked of the charm she possessed
Verse 6
E
Dancin' and laughter
was what she was after
And Rosa's Cantina had lights,
B
with love in the gleam
That's what she hunted
and that's what she wanted
Rosa's was one place,
E
a nice girl would never be seen
E
It was the same way it was back in Santa Fe
E
Men would make fools of themselves
A
at the thought of romance
Rosa took heed of,
E
the place was in need of
This kind of excitement,
B
E
so she paid Feleena to dance
Verse 7
E
A year passed and maybe more
and then through the swingin' doors
Came a young cowboy so tall
B
and so handsomely dressed
This one was new in town,
hadn't been seen around
He was so different,
E
he wasn't like all of the rest
E
Feleena danced close to him,
then threw a rose to him
E
Quickly he walked to her table
A
and there he sat down
And in a day or so,
E
wherever folks would go
They'd see this young cowboy,
B
E
showin' Feleena the town
Verse 8
E
Six weeks he went with her,
each minute spent with her
But he was insanely jealous
B
of glances she'd give
Inside he was a-hurtin',
from all of her flirtin'
That was her nature
E
and that was the way that she lived
E
She flirted one night,
it started a gun-fight
E
And after the smoke cleared away
A
on the floor lay a man
Feleena's young lover
E
had shot down another
And he had to leave there,
B
E
so out through the back door he ran
Verse 9
E
The next day at five o'clock,
she heard a rifle shot
Quickly she ran to the door,
B
that was facin' the pass
She saw her cowboy,
her wild-ridin' cowboy
Low in the saddle,
E
her cowboy was ridin' in fast
E
She ran to meet him,
to kiss and to greet him him
E
He saw her and motioned her back,
A
with a wave of his hand
Bullets were flyin',
E
Feleena was cryin'
B
As she saw him fall from the saddle
E
and into the sand
Verse 10
E
Faleena knelt near him,
to hold and to hear him
When she felt the warm blood
B
that flowed from the wound in his side
He raised to kiss her
and she heard him whisper
"Never forget me
E
Faleena, it's over, goodbye"
E
Quickly she grabbed for
the six-gun that he wore
And screamin' in anger
E
A
and placin' the gun to her breast
"Bury us both deep
E
and maybe we'll find peace"
And pullin' the trigger,
B
E
she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Verse 11
E
Out in El Paso,
whenever the wind blows
If you listen closely at night,
B
you'll hear in the wind
A woman is cryin',
it's not the wind sighin'
Old- timers tell you,
E
Feleena is callin' for him
E
You'll hear them talkin'
and you'll hear them walkin'
E
You'll hear them laugh and you'll look,
A
but there's no one around
Don't be alarmed,
E
there is really no harm there
It's only the young cowboy,
B
E
showin' Feleena the town
