Feleena written and recorded by Marty Robbins [3/4 time]
C Out in New Mexico many long years ago G7 There in a shack on the desert one night in a storm
Amid streaks of lightning and loud desert thunder C To a young Mexican couple a baby was born
Just as the baby cried thunder and lightning died C7 F Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same C Mother and Father both proud of the daughter G7 C That heaven had sent them Feleena was this baby's name
When she was seventeen bothered by crazy dreams G7 She ran away from the shack and left them to roam
Father and mother both asked one another C What made her run away what made Feleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights poverty grief and strife C7 F She ran away late one night in the moon's golden gleam C She didn't know where she'd go but she'd get there G7 C And she would find happiness if she would follow her dream
After she ran away she went to Santa Fe G7 And in the year that she stayed there she learned about life In just a little while she learned that with a smile C She could have pretty clothes she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her they dined and they danced her C7 F She understood men and she treated them all just the same C A form that was fine and rare dark shining glossy hair G7 C Lovely to look at Feleena was this woman's name
Restless in Santa Fe she had to get away G7 To any town where the lights had a much brighter glow One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso C They never stopped dancing and money like whiskey did flow
She bought a one-way ticket from Santa Fe C7 F Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then C She didn't mind that she knew she would find that G7 C 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 G7 To let her see all of the lights at the foot of the hill
Her world was brighter and deep down inside her C An uncontrolled beating her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel a room at the Lily Belle C7 F Quickly she changed to a form-fitting black satin dress C Every man stopped to stare at this form fine and rare G7 C Even the women remarked of the charm she possessed
Dancing and laughter was what she was after G7 And Rosa's Cantina had lights with love in the gleam
That's what she hunted and that's what she wanted C Rosa's was one place a nice girl would never be seen
It was the same way it was back in Santa Fe C7 F Men would make fools of themselves at the thought of romance C Rosa took heed of the place was in need of G7 C This kind of excitement so she paid Feleena to dance
A year passed and maybe more and then through the swinging doors G7 Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed
This one was new in town hadn't been seen around C He was so different he wasn't like all of the rest
Feleena danced close to him then threw a rose to him C7 F Quickly he walked to her table and there he sat down C And in a day or so wherever folks would go G7 C They'd see this young cowboy showing Feelena the town
Six weeks he went with her each minute spent with her G7 But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd give
Inside he was a-hurting from all of her flirting C That was her nature and that was the way that she lived
She flirted one night it started a gun-fight C7 F And after the smoke cleared away on the floor lay a man C Feleena's young lover had shot down another G7 C 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 G7 Quickly she ran to the door that was facing the pass
She saw her cowboy her wild-riding cowboy C Low in the saddle her cowboy was riding in fast
She ran to meet him to kiss and to greet him C7 F He saw her and motioned her back with a wave of his hand C Bullets were flying Feleena was crying G7 C As she saw him fall from the saddle and into the sand
Feleena knelt near him to hold and to hear him G7 When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side
He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper C Never forget me Feleena it's over goodbye
Quickly she grabbed for the six-gun that he wore C7 F And screaming in anger and placing the gun to her breast C Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace G7 C And pulling the trigger she fell across the dead cowboy's chest
Out in El Paso whenever the wind blows G7 If you listen closely at night you'll hear in the wind
A woman is crying it's not the wind sighing C Old timer's tell you Feleena is calling for him
You'll hear them talking and you'll hear them walking C7 F You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but there's no one around C Don't be alarmed there is really no harm there G7 C It's only the young cowboy showing Feleena the town
