Marty Robbins - Feleena (from El Paso)

Out in New Mexico, many long years ago
There in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm
Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder
To a young Mexican couple, a baby was born;
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died
Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same
Mother and Father, both proud of the daughter
That heaven had sent them, Felena was this baby's name.

When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams
She ran away from the shack and left them to roam
Father and Mother, both asked one another
What made her run away, what made Felena leave home;
Tired of the desert nights, fartherly grieved to strife
She ran away late one night in the moon's golden beam
She didn't know where she'd go, but she'd get there
And she would find happiness, if she would follow her dream.
