Verse 1
many long years ago
There in a shack on the desert,
Amid streaks of lightnin'
and loud desert thunder
To a young Mexican couple,
Just as the baby cried,
thunder and lightnin' died
Moon gave it's 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
Faleena was this baby's name
Verse 2
E
When she was seventeen,
bothered by crazy dreams
She ran away from the shack
Father and Mother,
both asked one another
What made her run away,
E
what made Faleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights,
poverty, grief and strife
She ran away late one night in
She didn't know where she'd go,
And she would find happiness,
B
if she would follow her dream
E
Verse 3
After she ran away, she went to Sante Fe
And in the year that she stayed there,
In just a little while,
she learned that with a smile
She could have pretty clothes,
E
she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her,
they dined and they danced her
She understood men and she
A
treated them all just the same
A form that was fine and rare,
B
Lovely to look at Faleena was
Verse 4
E
Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get away
To any town where the lights
One cowboy mentioned
the town of El Paso
They never stopped dancin'
E
and money like whiskey did flow
She bought a one-way,
a a ticket from Sante Fe
Three days and nights on a stage
She didn't mind that,
E
she knew she would find that
B
Her new life would be more exciting
Verse 5
E
The stage made it's last stop,
up there on the mountain top
To let her see all of the lights
Her world was brighter and deep
down inside her
An uncontrolled beating,
E
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
Ev'ry man stopped to stare,
E
at this form fine and rare
B
Even the women remarked of
Verse 6
was what she was after
And Rosa's Cantina had lights,
That's what she hunted and
that's what she wanted
Rosa's was one place,
E
a nice girl would never be seen
It was the same way,
it was back in Sante Fe
Men would make fools of themselves
A
at the thought of romance
Rosa took heed of,
This kind of excitement,
B
so she paid Faleena to dance
E
Verse 7
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
Faleena danced close to him,
then threw a rose to him
Quickly he walked to her table
And in a day or so,
They'd see this young cowboy,
B
E
showin' Faleena the town
Verse 8
E
Six weeks he went with her,
each minute spent with her
But he was insanely jealous
Inside he was a-hurtin', from
from all of her flirtin'
That was her nature and that
E
was the way that she lived
She flirted one night, it started a gun-fight
And And after the smoke cleared away,
Faleena's young lover,
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,
She saw her cowboy,
her wild-ridin' cowboy
cowboy
Low in the saddle,
E
her cowboy was ridin' in fast
She ran to meet him,
to kiss and to greet him
He saw her and motioned her back,
E
Bullets were flyin', Faleena was cryin'
B
As she saw him fall from the saddle
and into the sand
E
Verse 10
Faleena knelt near him,
to hold and to hear him
When she felt the warm blood that
B
flowed from the wound in his side
He raised to kiss her and she
heard him whisper
"Never forget me, Faleena it's over,
E
goodbye."
Quickly she grabbed for,
the six-gun that that he wore
And screamin' in anger and placin'
E
Bury us both deep 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,
A woman is cryin',
it's not the wind sighin'
Old timer's tell you,
E
Faleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and
you'll hear them walkin'
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
E
showin' Faleena the town
