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,
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
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 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
she went to Santa 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
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,
Lovely to look at
B
E
Feleena was this woman's name
Verse 4
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
a ticket from Santa Fe
E
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 its last stop,
up there on the mountaintop
And 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
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
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
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,
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
And in a day or so,
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
Inside he was a-hurtin',
from all of her flirtin'
That was her nature
E
and that was the way that she lived
it started a gun-fight
E
And after the smoke cleared away
Feleena'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
Low in the saddle,
E
her cowboy was ridin' in fast
to kiss and to greet him him
E
He saw her and motioned her back,
Bullets were flyin',
B
As she saw him fall from the saddle
Verse 10
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"
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
whenever the wind blows
If you listen closely at night,
A woman is cryin',
it's not the wind sighin'
Old- timers tell you,
E
Feleena is callin' for him
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
