Out in New Mexico many long years ago

There in a shack on the desert one night in a storm

Amid streaks of lightning and loud desert thunder

To a young Mexican couple a baby was born

Just as the baby cried thunder and lightning died

Moon gave it's light to the world

and the stars did the same

Mother and father both proud of the daughter

That heaven had sent them

Felena was this baby's name

When she was seventeen

bothered by crazy dreams

She ran away from the shack

and left them to roam

Father and mother both asked one another

What made her run away

what made Felena leave home

Tired of the desert nights

fartherly grieved to strife

She ran away late one night

in the moon's golden beam

She didn't know where

she'd go but she'd get there

And she would find happiness

if she would follow her dream

After she ran away she went to Santa Fe

And in the year that

she stayed there she learned about life

In just a little while

she learned that with her smile

She could have pretty clothes

she could be any man's wife

Rich men romanced her they dined

and they danced her

She understood men and

she treated them all just the same

A form that was fine

and rare dark shining glossy hair

Lovely to look at Felena was this woman's name

Restless in Santa Fe she had to get away

To any town where the lights

had a much brighter glow

One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso

They never stopped dancing

and money like whiskey would flow

She bought a one way a ticket from Santa Fe

Three days and nights on a stage

with a rest now and then

She didn't mind that

she knew she would find that

Her new life would be more exciting

than where she had been

The stage made it's last stop up

there on the mountain top

To let her see all the lights at the foot of the hill

Her world was brighter

and deep down inside her

An uncontrolled beating

her young heart just wouldn't be still

She got a hotel a room at the Lily Belle

Quickly she changed to a form

fitting black satin dress

Every man stopped to

stare at this form fine and rare

Even the women remarked

of the charm she possessed

Dancing and laughter was what she was after

And Rosa's Cantina had lights

with love in the gleam

That's what she hunted

and that's what she wanted

Rosa's was one place a nice girl

would never be seen

It was the same way it was back in Santa Fe

Men would make fools of themselves

at the thought of romance

Rosa took heed of the place was in need of

This kind of excitement so

she paid Felena to dance

A year passed or maybe more

and then through the swinging doors

Came a young cowboy so tall

and so handsomely dressed

This one was new in town

hadn't been seen around

He was so different he wasn't like all of the rest

Feleena danced close to him

then threw a rose to him

Quickly he walked to her table

and there he sat down

And in a day or so wherever folks would go

They'd see this young cowboy

showing Felena the town

Six weeks he went with

her each minute spent with her

But he was insanely jealous

of glances she'd give

Inside he was a hurting from all of her flirting

But that was her nature

and that was the way that she lived

She flirted one night it started a gun fight

And after the smoke cleared away

on the floor lay a man

Felena's young lover had shot down another

And he had to leave there

so out through the back door he ran

The next day at five o'clock she heard a rifle shot

Quickly she ran to the door

that was facing the pass

She saw her cowboy her wild riding cowboy

Low in the saddle her cowboy was riding in fast

She ran to meet him to kiss and to greet him

He saw her and motioned

her back with a wave of his hand

Bullets were flying Felena was crying

As she saw him fall from the saddle

and into the sand

Felena knelt near him to hold and to hear him

As she felt the warm blood

that flowed from the wound in his side

He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper

Never forget me Felena it's over goodbye

Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he wore

And screaming in anger

and placing the gun to her breast

Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace

And pulling the trigger

she fell cross the dead cowboy's chest

Out in El Paso whenever the wind blows

If you listen closely at night

you'll hear in the wind

A woman is crying it's not the wind sighing

Old timer's tell you Felena is calling for him

You'll hear them talking

and you'll hear them walking

You'll hear them laugh and you'll look

but there's no one around

Don't be alarmed there is really no harm there

It's only the young cowboy

showing Felena the town
