D Out in New Mexico, many long years agoA7 There in a shack on the desert, one night in a stormA7 Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunderD To a young Mexican couple, a baby was born;D Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' diedD7 G Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the sameD Mother and Father, both proud of the daughterA7 D That heaven had sent them, Felina was this baby's name. [Verse 2]D When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreamsA7 She ran away from the shack and left them to roamA7 Father and Mother, both asked one anotherD What made her run away, what made Felina leave home;D Tired of the desert nights, fartherly grieved to strifeD7 G She ran away late one night in the moon's golden gleamD She didn't know where she'd go, but that she'd get thereA7 D And she would find happiness, if she would follow her dream. [Verse 3]D After she ran away, she went to Sante FeA7 And in the year that she stayed there, she learned about lifeA7 In just a little while, she learned that with a smileD She could have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife;D Rich men romanced her, they dined and they danced herD7 G She understood men and she treated them all just the sameD A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hairA7 D Lovely to look at Felina was this woman's name. [Verse 4]D Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get awayA7 To any town where the lights had a much brighter glowA7 One cowboy mentioned the town of El PasoD They never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey did flow;D She bought a one-way, a ticket from Sante FeD7 G Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and thenD She didn't mind that, she knew she would find thatA7 D Her new life would be more exciting than where she had been. [Verse 5]D The stage made it's last stop, up there on the mountain topA7 To let her see all of the lights at the foot of the hillA7 Her world was brighter and deep down inside herD An uncontrolled beating, her young heart just wouldn't be still;D She got a hotel, a room at the Lily BelleD7 G Quickly she changed to a form-fitting black satin dressD Ev'ry man stopped to stare at this form fine and rareA7 D Even the women remarked of the charm she possessed. [Verse 6]D Dancin' and laughter was what she was afterA7 And Rosa's Cantina had lights, with a love in the gleamA7 That's what she hunted and that's what she wantedD Rosa's was one place a nice girl would never be seen;D It was the same way it was back in Sante FeD7 G Men would make fools of themselves at the thought of romanceD Rosa took heed of the place was in need ofA7 D This kind of excitement, so she paid Felina to dance. [Verse 7]D A year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' doorsA7 Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressedA7 This one was new in town, hadn't been seen aroundD He was so different, he wasn't like all of the rest;D Felina danced close to him, then threw a rose to himD7 G Quickly he walked to her table and there he sat downD And in a day or so, wherever folks would goA7 D They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Felina the town. [Verse 8]D Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent with herA7 But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd giveA7 Inside he was a-hurtin', from all of her flirtin'D That was her nature and that was the way that she lived;D She flirted one night, it started a gun-fightD7 G And after the smoke cleared away, on the floor lay a manD Felina's young lover, had shot down anotherA7 D And he had to leave there, so out through the back door he ran. [Verse 9]D The next day at five o'clock, she heard a rifle shotA7 Quickly she ran to the door, that was facin' the passA7 She saw her cowboy, her wild-ridin' cowboyD Low in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in fast;D She ran to meet him, to kiss and to greet himD7 G He saw her and motioned her back, with a wave of his handD Bullets were flyin', Feleena was cryin'A7 D As she saw him fall from the saddle and into the sand. [Verse 10]D Feleena knelt near him, to hold and to hear himA7 When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his sideA7 He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisperD "Never forget me - Felina it's over, goodbye."D Quickly she grabbed for, the six-gun that he woreD7 G And screamin' in anger and placin' the gun to her breastD Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peaceA7 D And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest. [Verse 11]D Out in El Paso, whenever the wind blowsA7 If you listen closely at night, you'll hear in the wind A woman is cryin', it's not the wind sighin'D Old timer's tell you, Felina is callin' for him; You'll hear them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin'D7 G You'll hear them laugh and you'll look, but there's no one aroundD Don't be alarmed - there is really no harm thereA7 D It's only the young cowboy, showin' Felina the town.
