Faleena (From El Paso)(Single Version) - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
Out in New Mexico many long years ago[00:00:08]
There in a shack on the desert one night in a storm[00:00:11]
Amid streaks of lightning and loud desert thunder[00:00:19]
To a young Mexican couple a baby was born[00:00:23]
Just as the baby cried thunder and lightning died[00:00:30]
Moon gave it's light to the world[00:00:34]
And the stars did the same[00:00:36]
Mother and father both proud of the daughter[00:00:41]
That heaven had sent them[00:00:45]
Felena was this baby's name[00:00:47]
When she was seventeen bothered by crazy dreams[00:00:53]
She ran away from the shack and left them to roam[00:00:56]
Father and mother both asked one another[00:01:04]
What made her run away[00:01:07]
What made Felena leave home[00:01:09]
Tired of the desert nights fartherly grieved to strife[00:01:15]
She ran away late one night[00:01:19]
In the moon's golden beam[00:01:21]
She didn't know where she'd go[00:01:26]
But she'd get there[00:01:28]
And she would find happiness[00:01:30]
If she would follow her dream[00:01:32]
After she ran away she went to Santa Fe[00:01:37]
And in the year that she stayed there[00:01:41]
She learned about life[00:01:43]
In just a little while she learned that with her smile[00:01:48]
She could have pretty clothes[00:01:52]
She could be any man's wife[00:01:54]
Rich men romanced her they dined[00:01:59]
And they danced her[00:02:02]
She understood men[00:02:03]
And she treated them all just the same[00:02:04]
A form that was fine[00:02:10]
And rare dark shining glossy hair[00:02:12]
Lovely to look at Felena was this woman's name[00:02:14]
Restless in Santa Fe she had to get away[00:02:22]
To any town where the lights[00:02:25]
Had a much brighter glow[00:02:28]
One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso[00:02:33]
They never stopped dancing[00:02:37]
And money like whiskey would flow[00:02:38]
She bought a one way a ticket from Santa Fe[00:02:44]
Three days and nights on a stage[00:02:48]
With a rest now and then[00:02:50]
She didn't mind that she knew[00:02:55]
She would find that[00:02:57]
Her new life would be more exciting[00:02:58]
Than where she had been[00:03:01]
The stage made it's last stop up there[00:03:06]
On the mountain top[00:03:08]
To let her see all the lights at the foot of the hill[00:03:10]
Her world was brighter and deep down inside her[00:03:17]
An uncontrolled beating her young heart[00:03:21]
Just wouldn't be still[00:03:23]
She got a hotel a room at the Lily Belle[00:03:28]
Quickly she changed to a form fitting black satin dress[00:03:32]
Every man stopped to stare at this form fine and rare[00:03:39]
Even the women remarked of the charm she possessed[00:03:43]
Dancing and laughter was what she was after[00:03:51]
And Rosa's Cantina had lights with love in the gleam[00:03:54]
That's what she hunted and that's what she wanted[00:04:01]
Rosa's was one place a nice girl would never be seen[00:04:05]
It was the same way it was back in Santa Fe[00:04:13]
Men would make fools of themselves[00:04:16]
At the thought of romance[00:04:18]
Rosa took heed of the place was in need of[00:04:23]
This kind of excitement so she paid Felena to dance[00:04:27]
A year passed or maybe more[00:04:34]
And then through the swinging doors[00:04:36]
Came a young cowboy[00:04:38]
So tall and so handsomely dressed[00:04:40]
This one was new in town hadn't been seen around[00:04:45]
He was so different he wasn't like all of the rest[00:04:49]
Feleena danced close to him then threw a rose to him[00:04:56]
Quickly he walked to her table and there he sat down[00:05:00]
And in a day or so wherever folks would go[00:05:07]
They'd see this young cowboy showing Felena the town[00:05:11]
Six weeks he went with her each minute spent with her[00:05:18]
But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd give[00:05:22]
Inside he was a hurting from all of her flirting[00:05:29]
But that was her nature[00:05:33]
And that was the way that she lived[00:05:34]
She flirted one night it started a gun fight[00:05:40]
And after the smoke cleared away[00:05:44]
On the floor lay a man[00:05:46]
Felena's young lover had shot down another[00:05:51]
And he had to leave there[00:05:55]
So out through the back door he ran[00:05:57]
The next day at five o'clock she heard a rifle shot[00:06:02]
Quickly she ran to the door that was facing the pass[00:06:06]
She saw her cowboy her wild riding cowboy[00:06:13]
Low in the saddle her cowboy was riding in fast[00:06:17]
She ran to meet him to kiss and to greet him[00:06:24]
He saw her and motioned her back[00:06:28]
With a wave of his hand[00:06:30]
Bullets were flying Felena was crying[00:06:35]
As she saw him fall from the saddle and into the sand[00:06:39]
Felena knelt near him to hold and to hear him[00:06:46]
When she felt the warm blood that flowed[00:06:50]
From the wound in his side[00:06:52]
He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper[00:06:58]
Never forget me Felena it's over goodbye[00:07:01]
Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he wore[00:07:08]
And screaming in anger[00:07:12]
And placing the gun to her breast[00:07:13]
Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace[00:07:19]
And pulling the trigger[00:07:23]
She fell cross the dead cowboy's chest[00:07:24]
Out in El Paso whenever the wind blows[00:07:30]
If you listen closely at night you'll hear in the wind[00:07:34]
A woman is crying it's not the wind sighing[00:07:41]
Old timer's tell you Felena is calling for him[00:07:45]
You'll hear them talking and you'll hear them walking[00:07:52]
You'll hear them laugh[00:07:56]
And you'll look but there's no one around[00:07:57]
Don't be alarmed there is really no harm there[00:08:03]
It's only the young cowboy showing Felena the town[00:08:06]
