FOREWORD
This is a second volume of lyrics to popular songs, to assist learning to play the guitar
by ear, as described in the article, How to Play the Guitar by Ear (for Mathematicians and
Physicists), posted at Internet web sites http://www.foundation.bw
and http://www.foundationwebsite.org . As
discussed in the foreword to Volume 1, the purpose of assembling these lyrics is to
provide the student with a large number of songs from which he may choose ones for which
he knows the melody and enjoys singing. Since everyone’s taste is different, and the
student may not be familiar with the songs that I know (many from decades ago), it is the
intention to provide a large number of popular songs from which the student may choose. I
believe that learning the guitar is facilitated by practicing a number of different songs
in a practice session, and playing each one only a couple of times, perhaps in a couple of
different keys. In order to do this, it is important to have a large collection of lyrics
available.
As in Volume I, I have deliberately omitted noting the chords to be played on each song,
if it is my opinion that the beginning student should be able to figure them out easily
– e.g., chords are omitted for most two-chord or three-chord songs. The purpose of
this omission is to provide the student with the opportunity of learning to determine
which chord to use at each point of the song, quickly and automatically. For more
difficult songs, I indicate some of the chords, and for some songs, I provide chords for
the entire song. Where I indicate only a few chords, it is important to remember, as noted
on the cover, that it is assumed that all songs are sung in the key of A, unless otherwise
indicated. (There are a few songs for which the chords are relatively easy, but I have
indicated them nevertheless. These are songs that I was to sing in public for some
occasion, and I did not wish to make a mistake.)
In some cases, I have found songs already chorded, but in a fashion that is not convenient
for the guitar (e.g., in the key of Bflat, or with many exotic chords). In most cases, I
have removed the chords or re-chorded them. In some cases, however, I have left the songs
in “strange” keys or chordings, to be modified as an exercise by the student.
As was the case for Volume I, this volume includes mainly songs from country music, but it
also includes some non-country-music folk songs, rock and roll songs, popular songs, and
gospel hymns.
Many of the songs of this volume are copyrighted by others. In their original or available
forms, however, they are not helpful for the beginning student of guitar (e.g., they are
arranged for piano, or are written in a key that is not natural for the guitar, or are
fully annotated with chords, or are in small print). To facilitate reading by the student
as he plays the guitar, they are presented here in a large, easy-to-read font and with a
strong attempt to keep the song to a single page in length. To facilitate his progress in
learning to play by ear, the chords have been removed in all simple cases. It is for these
reasons that I have, in cognizance of and in the spirit of the “fair use”
doctrine of copyright law, reformatted these songs and presented them in the present
volume.
Good luck!

BILLY RAY CYRUS
DON VON TRESS
YOU CAN TELL THE WORLD YOU NEVER WAS MY GIRL
YOU CAN BURN MY CLOTHES WHEN I'M GONE
OR YOU CAN TELL YOUR FRIENDS JUST WHAT A FOOL I'VE BEEN
AND LAUGH AND JOKE ABOUT ME ON THE PHONE
YOU CAN TELL MY ARMS GO BACK TO THE FARM
YOU CAN TELL MY FEET TO HIT THE FLOOR
OR YOU CAN TELL MY LIPS TO TELL MY FINGERTIPS
THEY WON'T BE REACHING OUT FOR YOU NO MORE
(CHORUS) BUT DON'T TELL MY HEART, MY ACHY BREAKY HEART
I JUST DON'T THINK HE'D UNDERSTAND
AND IF YOU TELL MY HEART, MY ACHY BREAKY HEART
HE MIGHT BLOW UP AND KILL THIS MAN, OOH,
YOU CAN TELL YOUR MA, I MOVED TO ARKANSAS
YOU CAN TELL YOUR DOG TO BITE MY LEG
OR TELL YOUR BROTHER CLIFF, WHOSE FIST CAN TELL MY LIP
HE NEVER REALLY LIKED ME ANYWAY
OR YOU CAN TELL YOUR AUNT LOUISE, TELL ANYTHING YOU PLEASE
MYSELF ALREADY KNOWS I'M NOT OKAY
OR YOU CAN TELL MY EYES, TO WATCH OUT FOR MY MIND
IT MIGHT BE WALKING OUT ON ME TODAY (CHORUS)
BUT DON'T TELL MY HEART, MY ACHY BREAKY HEART
I JUST DON'T THINK HE'D UNDERSTAND
AND IF YOU TELL MY HEART, MY ACHY BREAKY HEART
HE MIGHT BLOW UP AND KILL THIS MAN, OOH

AND IT'S ALL FOR THE LOVE OF A DEAR LITTLE GIRL
ALL FOR THE LOVE THAT SETS YOUR HEART IN A WHIRL
I'M A MAN WHO'D GIVE HIS LIFE AND THE JOYS OF THIS WORLD
ALL FOR THE LOVE OF A GIRL

STORAGE SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE GARAGE, AND THAT SHE WOULD SEND THEM TO ME IF AND WHEN HE
CAME ACROSS THEM.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
WORDS BY JULIA WARD HOWE, MUSIC "JOHN BROWN'S BODY",
19TH CENTURY AMERICAN CAMP MEETING TUNE
MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD
HE IS TRAMPLING OUT THE VINTAGE WHERE THE GRAPES OF WRATH ARE STORED
HE HATH LOOSED THE FATEFUL LIGHTNING OF HIS TERRIBLE SWIFT SWORD
HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON
I HAVE SEEN HIM IN THE WATCH FIRES OF A HUNDRED CIRCLING CAMPS
THEY HAVE BUILDED HIM AN ALTAR IN THE EVENING DEWS AND DAMPS
I CAN READ HIS RIGHTEOUS SENTENCE BY THE DIM AND FLARING LAMPS
HIS DAY IS MARCHING ON
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! HIS DAY IS MARCHING ON
I HAVE READ A FIERY GOSPEL WRIT IN BURNISHED ROWS OF STEEL
“AS YE DEAL WITH MY CONTEMNERS, SO WITH YOU MY GRACE SHALL DEAL”
LET THE HERO, BORN OF WOMAN, CRUSH THE SERPENT WITH HIS HEEL
SINCE GOD IS MARCHING ON
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! SINCE GOD IS MARCHING ON
HE HAS SOUNDED FORTH THE TRUMPET THAT SHALL NEVER CALL RETREAT
HE IS SIFTING OUT THE HEARTS OF MEN BEFORE HIS JUDGMENT SEAT
OH, BE SWIFT, MY SOUL, TO ANSWER HIM! BE JUBILANT, MY FEET
OUR GOD IS MARCHING ON
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! OUR GOD IS MARCHING ON
IN THE BEAUTY OF THE LILIES CHRIST WAS BORN ACROSS THE SEA
WITH A GLORY IN HIS BOSOM THAT TRANSFIGURES YOU AND ME
AS HE DIED TO MAKE MEN HOLY, LET US LIVE TO MAKE MEN FREE
(ORIGINALLY: “AS HE DIED TO MAKE MEN HOLY, LET US DIE TO MAKE MEN FREE”)
WHILE GOD IS MARCHING ON
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! WHILE GOD IS MARCHING ON
HE IS COMING LIKE THE GLORY OF THE MORNING ON THE WAVE
HE IS WISDOM TO THE MIGHTY, HE IS HONOR TO THE BRAVE
SO THE WORLD SHALL BE HIS FOOTSTOOL, AND THE SOUL OF WRONG HIS SLAVE
OUR GOD IS MARCHING ON
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH! OUR GOD IS MARCHING ON

SON COM LAS ESPUMAS, CIELITO LINDO
QUE FORMA EL AGUA
FROM THE SIERRA MORENA, MY PRETTY DARLING
THERE CAME DESCENDING
ONE SHINING PAIR OF DARK EYES, MY PRETTY DARLING
JEWELS BEYOND SPENDING
AY, AY, AY, AY! SING, DON'T BE TEARFUL
BECAUSE A VOICE THAT IS SINGING, MY PRETTY DARLING
MAKES THE HEART CHEERFUL
CUPID LET FLY AN ARROW, MY PRETTY DARLING
LOVE'S FIERY DART
AND AS HE WENT AWAY LAUGHING, MY PRETTY DARLING
IT STRUCK MY HEART
AY, AY, AY, AY! SURGING AND GROWING
AND BY THE SAME WIND THAT STIRS THEM, MY PRETTY DARLING
OFF THEY ARE BLOWING
ALL THE AIRY ILLUSIONS, MY PRETTY DARLING
THAT LOVE DEVISES
ARE LIKE THE FAOM ON THE WATER, MY PRETTY DARLING
THIN AS IT RISES

SINGING GOOD MORNING AMERICA, HOW ARE YOU?
SAYING DON'T YOU KNOW ME, I'M YOUR NATIVE SON?
I'M THE TRAIN THEY CALL THE "CITY OF NEW ORLEANS"
I'LL BE GONE FIVE HUNDRED MILES WHEN THE DAY IS DONE

THERE LIVED A MINER, FORTY-(G)NINER
AND HIS (D7) DAUGHTER, CLEMEN(G)TINE
(CHORUS) OH MY DARLING, OH MY DARLING
OH MY DARLING CLEMEN(D7)TINE
YOU ARE LOST AND GONE FOR(G)EVER
DREADFUL (D7) SORRY, CLEMEN(G)TINE
LIGHT SHE WAS, AND LIKE A FAIRY
AND HER SHOES WERE NUMBER NINE
HERRING BOXES WITHOUT TOPSES
SANDALS WERE FOR CLEMENTINE (CHORUS)
DROVE SHE DUCKLINGS TO THE WATER
EVERY MORNING JUST AT NINE
HIT HER FOOT AGAINST A SPLINTER
FELL INTO THE FOAMING BRINE (CHORUS)
RUBY LIPS ABOVE THE WATER
BLOWING BUBBLES SOFT AND FINE
ALAS FOR ME! I WAS NO SWIMMER
SO I LOST MY CLEMENTINE (CHORUS)

BOBBY DARIN, F

IN A (F) CAVERN DOWN BY A CANYON
EXCAVATIN' FOR A (C7) MINE
THERE LIVED A MINER FROM NORTH CARO(F)LINA
AND HIS (C7) DAUGHTER, CLEMEN(F)TINE
NOW EVERY MORNIN', JUST ABOUT DAWNIN'
A'WHEN THE SUN BEGINS TO SHINE
SHE WOULD ROUSE UP, WAKE THEM COWS UP
AND WALK 'EM DOWN TO HER DADDY'S MINE
A'TOOK THE FOOT BRIDGE, WAY 'CROSS THE WATER
THOUGH SHE WEIGHED TWO-NINETY NINE
THE OLD BRIDGE TREMBLED AND DISASSEMBLED
DUMPED HER INTO THE FOAMY BRINE
CRACKLE LIKE THUNDER, SHE WENT UNDER
BLOWIN BUBBLES DOWN THE LINE
I'M NO SWIMMER BUT WERE SHE SLIMMER
I MIGHT'A SAVED MY CLEMENTINE
BROKE THE RECORD, WAY UNDER WATER
I THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS DOIN' FINE
I WASN'T NERVOUS UNTIL THE SERVICE
THAT THEY HELD FOR CLEMENTINE
HEY YOU SAILOR WAY OUT IN YOUR WHALER
WITH A HARPOON, YOUR TRUSTY LINE
IF SHE SHOWS NOW, THERE SHE BLOWS NOW
IT JUST MAY BE MY CLEMENTINE
OH MY DARLIN', OH MY DARLIN', OH MY DARLIN'
OH MY DARLIN', OH MY DARLIN' CLEMENTINE
YOU MAY BE GONE BUT YOU'RE NOT FORGOTTEN
FARE THEE WELL, MY CLEMENTINE

WE WERE (C) POOR, BUT WE HAD (F) LOVE
THATīS THE ONE THING THAT DADDY MADE (C) SURE OF

AND EVERīTHING WOULD START ALL OVER COME BREAK OF MORNī
DADDY LOVED AND RAISED EIGHT KIDS ON A MINERīS PAY
MOMMY SCRUBBED OUR CLOTHES ON A WASHBOARD EVERī DAY
WHY IīVE SEEN HER FINGERS BLEED
TO COMPLAIN THERE WAS NO NEED
SHEīD SMILE IN MOMMYīS UNDERSTANDING WAY
IN THE SUMMERTIME WE DIDNīT HAVE SHOES TO WEAR
BUT IN THE WINTERTIME WEīD ALL GET A BRAND NEW PAIR
FROM A MAIL ORDER CATALOG
MONEY MADE FROM SELLINī A HOG
DADDY ALWAYS MANAGED TO GET THE MONEY SOMEWHERE
YEAH! IīM PROUD TO BE A COAL MINERīS DAUGHTER
I REMEMBER WELL, THE WELL WHERE I DREW WATER
THE WORK WE DONE WAS HARD
AT NIGHT WEīD SLEEP īCAUSE WE WERE TIRED
I NEVER THOUGHT OF EVER LEAVING BUTCHER HOLLER
WELL ALOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE WAY BACK THEN
AND ITīS SO GOOD TO BE BACK HOME AGAIN
NOT MUCH LEFT BUT THE FLOOR
NOTHING LIVES HERE ANYMORE
EXCEPT THE MEMīRIES OF A COAL MINERīS DAUGHTER

DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
WORDS BY TIM RICE, MUSIC BY ANDREW LLOYD WEBER
FROM EVITA
IT WON'T BE EASY, YOU'LL THINK IT STRANGE
WHEN I TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL
THAT I STILL NEED YOUR LOVE AFTER ALL THAT I'VE DONE
YOU WON'T BELIEVE ME
ALL YOU WILL SEE IS A GIRL YOU ONCE KNEW
ALTHOUGH SHE'S DRESSED UP TO THE NINES
AT SIXES AND SEVENS WITH YOU
I HAD TO LET IT HAPPEN, I HAD TO CHANGE
I COULDN'T STAY ALL MY LIFE DOWN AT HEEL
LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW, STAYING OUT OF THE SUN
SO I CHOSE FREEDOM
RUNNING AROUND TRYING EVERYTHING NEW
BUT NOTHING IMPRESSED ME AT ALL
I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO
DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
THE TRUTH IS I NEVER LEFT YOU
ALL THROUGH MY WILD DAYS, MY MAD EXISTENCE
I KEPT MY PROMISE, DON'T KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
AND AS FOR FORTUNE AND AS FOR FAME
I NEVER INVITED THEM IN
THOUGH IT SEEMED TO THE WORLD THEY WERE ALL I DESIRED
THEY ARE ILLUSIONS, THEY'RE NOT THE SOLUTIONS
THEY PROMISED TO BE, THE ANSWER WAS HERE ALL THE TIME
I LOVE YOU AND I HOPE YOU LOVE ME
DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
MM M M M M
DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
THE TRUTH IS I NEVER LEFT YOU
ALL THROUGH MY WILD DAYS, MY MAD EXISTENCE
I KEPT MY PROMISE, DON'T KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
HAVE I SAID TOO MUCH?
THERE'S NOTHING MORE I CAN THINK OF TO SAY TO YOU
BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT ME TO KNOW THAT EVERY WORD IS TRUE

EL PASO
MARTY ROBBINS
OUT IN THE WEST TEXAS TOWN OF EL PASO
I FELL IN LOVE WITH A MEXICAN GIRL
NIGHTTIME WOULD FIND ME IN ROSA'S CANTINA
MUSIC WOULD PLAY AND FELINA WOULD WHIRL
BLACKER THAN NIGHT WERE THE EYES OF FELINA
WICKED AND EVIL WHILE CASTING A SPELL
MY LOVE WAS STRONG FOR THIS MEXICAN MAIDEN
I WAS IN LOVE, BUT IN VAIN I COULD TELL
(CHORUS 1) ONE NIGHT A WILD YOUNG COWBOY CAME IN
WILD AS THE WEST TEXAS WIND
DASHING AND DARING, A DRINK HE WAS SHARING
WITH WICKED FELINA, THE GIRL THAT I LOVED
SO IN ANGER
I CHALLENGED HIS RIGHT FOR THE LOVE OF THIS MAIDEN
DOWN WENT HIS HAND FOR THE GUN THAT HE WORE
MY CHALLENGE WAS ANSWERED, IN LESS THAN A HEARTBEAT
THE HANDSOME YOUNG STRANGER LAY DEAD ON THE FLOOR
JUST FOR A MOMENT I STOOD THERE IN SILENCE
SHOCKED BY THE FOUL EVIL DEED I HAD DONE
MANY THOUGHTS RAN THROUGH MY MIND AS I STOOD THERE
I HAD BUT ONE CHANCE AND THAT WAS TO RUN
(CHORUS 2) OUT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR OF ROSA'S I RAN
OUT WHERE THE HORSES WERE TIED
I CAUGHT A GOOD ONE; HE LOOKED LIKE HE COULD RUN
UP ON HIS BACK AND AWAY I DID RIDE
JUST AS FAST AS
I COULD FROM THE WEST TEXAS TOWN OF EL PASO
OUT THRU THE BADLANDS OF NEW MEXICO
BACK IN EL PASO MY LIFE WOULD BE WORTHLESS
EVERYTHING'S GONE IN LIFE NOTHING IS LEFT
BUT IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE SEEN THE YOUNG MAIDEN
MY LOVE IS STRONGER THAT MY FEAR OF DEATH
(NOTHING'S MISSING. IT REALLY IS ONLY HALF A VERSE)
(CHORUS 3) I SADDLED UP AND AWAY I DID GO
RIDING ALONE IN THE DARK
MAYBE TOMORROW A BULLET MAY FIND ME
TONIGHT NOTHING'S WORSE THAN THIS PAIN IN MY HEART
AND AT LAST HERE
I AM ON THE HILL OVERLOOKING EL PASO
I CAN SEE ROSA'S CANTINA BELOW
MY LOVE IS STRONG AND IT PUSHES ME ONWARD
DOWN OFF THE HILL TO FELINA I GO
OFF TO MY RIGHT I SEE FIVE MOUNTED COWBOYS
OFF TO MY LEFT RIDE A DOZEN OR MORE
SHOUTING AND SHOOTING; I CAN'T LET THEM CATCH ME
I'VE GOT TO MAKE IT TO ROSA'S BACK DOOR
(CHORUS 4) SOMETHING IS DREADFULLY WRONG FOR I FEEL
A DEEP BURNING PAIN IN MY SIDE
IT'S GETTING HARDER TO STAY IN THE SADDLE
I'M GETTING WEARY, UNABLE TO RIDE
BUT MY LOVE FOR
FELINA IS STRONG AND I RISE WHERE I'VE FALLEN
THOUGH I AM WEARY, I CAN'T STOP TO REST
I SEE THE WHITE PUFF OF SMOKE FROM THE RIFLE
I FEEL THE BULLET GO DEEP IN MY CHEST
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, FELINA HAS FOUND ME
KISSING MY CHEEK AS SHE KNEELS BY MY SIDE
CRADLED BY TWO LOVING ARMS THAT I'LL DIE FOR
ONE LITTLE KISS AND FELINA GOODBYE
EL PASO CITY
MARTY ROBBINS
FROM THIRTY THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE DESERT FLOOR I SEE IT THERE BELOW
A CITY WITH A LEGEND, THE WEST TEXAS CITY OF EL PASO
WHERE LONG AGO I HEARD A SONG ABOUT A TEXAS COWBOY AND A GIRL
AND A LITTLE PLACE CALLED ROSA'S WHERE HE USED TO GO AND WATCH THIS BEAUTY WHIRL
I DON'T RECALL WHO SANG THE SONG BUT I RECALL A STORY THAT I HEARD
AND AS I LOOK DOWN ON THIS CITY I REMEMBER EACH AND EVERY WORD
THE SINGER SANG ABOUT A JEALOUS COWBOY AND THE WAY HE USED A GUN
TO KILL ANOTHER COWBOY, THEN HE HAD TO LEAVE EL PASO ON THE RUN
EL PASO CITY, BY THE RIO GRANDE
THE COWBOY LIVED AND RODE AWAY BUT LOVE WAS STRONG HE COULDN'T STAY
HE RODE BACK JUST TO DIE IN THAT EL PASO SAND
EL PASO CITY, BY THE RIO GRANDE
I TRY NOT TO LET YOU CROSS MY MIND BUT STILL I FIND
THERE'S SUCH A MYSTERY IN THE SONG THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
MY MIND IS DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE AS I FLY ABOVE THE BADLANDS OF NEW MEXICO
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD KNOW THE VERY TRAIL HE RODE BACK TO EL PASO
CAN IT BE THAT MAN CAN DISAPPEAR FROM LIFE AND LIVE ANOTHER TIME
AND DOES THE MYSTERY DEEPEN 'CAUSE YOU THINK THAT YOU YOURSELF LIVED IN THAT OTHER TIME
SOMEWHERE IN MY DEEPEST THOUGHTS FAMILIAR SCENES AND MEMORIES UNFOLD
THESE WILD AND UNEXPLAINED EMOTIONS THAT I'VE HAD SO LONG, BUT I HAVE NEVER TOLD
LIKE EVERYTIME I FLY UP THROUGH THE HEAVENS AND I SEE YOU THERE BELOW
I GET THE FEELING SOMETIME IN ANOTHER WORLD I LIVED IN EL PASO
EL PASO CITY, BY THE RIO GRANDE
COULD IT BE THAT I COULD BE THE COWBOY IN THE MYSTERY
THAT DIED THERE IN THAT DESERT SAND SO LONG AGO
EL PASO CITY, BY THE RIO GRANDE
A VOICE TELLS ME TO GO AND SEEK, ANOTHER VOICE KEEPS TELLING ME
MAYBE DEATH AWAITS ME IN EL PASO

ARTISTS: THE PLATTERS (PEAK BILLBOARD POSITION # 12 IN 1959)
WORDS AND MUSIC BY BUCK RAM
LIVING IS A DREAM WHEN YOU MAKE IT SEEM ENCHANTED
LOVERS TAKE FOR GRANTED ALL THE WORLD'S AGLOW, THEY OUGHT TO KNOW
WHEN YOU TOUCH A STAR THEN YOU REALLY ARE ENCHANTED
FIND A SEED AND PLANT IT, LOVE WILL MAKE IT GROW
IT'S REALLY GRAND WHEN YOU STAND HAND IN HAND WITH YOUR LOVER
AND THRILL TO THE WONDERS OF NIGHT
AND DAYS, TOO, WILL AMAZE YOU AND SOON YOU'LL DISCOVER
YOUR DREAMS RUN TO DREAMS IN CONTINUOUS FLIGHT
LOVE IS ECSTASY, IT'S DIVINE TO BE ENCHANTED
WHEN YOUR DREAMS ARE SLANTED THROUGH A LOVER'S EYES

FELEENA (FROM EL PASO)
WORDS AND MUSIC BY MARTY ROBBINS
CAPO: 2ND FRET/KEY: E/PLAY: D
(D) OUT IN NEW MEXICO, MANY LONG YEARS AGO
THERE IN A SHACK ON THE DESERT, ONE NIGHT IN A (A7) STORM
AMID STREAKS OF LIGHTNIN' AND LOUD DESERT THUNDER
TO A YOUNG MEXICAN COUPLE, A BABY WAS (D) BORN
JUST AS THE BABY CRIED, THUNDER AND LIGHTNIN' DIED
MOON GAVE IT'S LIGHT TO THE WORLD AND THE (D7) STARS DID THE (G) SAME
MOTHER AND FATHER, BOTH (D) PROUD OF THE DAUGHTER
THAT HEAVEN HAD SENT THEM, (A7) FELEENA WAS THIS BABY'S (D) 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 FELEENA LEAVE HOME
TIRED OF THE DESERT NIGHTS, FARTHERLY GRIEVED TO STRIFE
SHE RAN AWAY LATE ONE NIGHT IN THE MOON'S GOLDEN GLEAM
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SHE'D GO, BUT SHE'D GET THERE
AND SHE WOULD FIND HAPPINESS, IF SHE WOULD FOLLOW HER DREAM
AFTER SHE RAN AWAY, SHE WENT TO SANTE FE
AND IN THE YEAR THAT SHE STAYED THERE, SHE LEARNED ABOUT LIFE
IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE, SHE LEARNED THAT WITH A SMILE
SHE COULD HAVE PRETTY CLOTHES, SHE COULD BE ANY MAN'S WIFE
RICH MEN ROMANCED HER, THEY DINED AND THEY DANCED HER
SHE UNDERSTOOD MEN AND SHE TREATED THEM ALL JUST THE SAME
A FORM THAT WAS FINE AND RARE, DARK SHINING GLOSSY HAIR
LOVELY TO LOOK AT FELEENA WAS THIS WOMAN'S NAME
RESTLESS IN SANTE FE, SHE HAD TO GET AWAY
TO ANY TOWN WHERE THE LIGHTS HAD A MUCH BRIGHTER GLOW
ONE COWBOY MENTIONED THE TOWN OF EL PASO
THEY NEVER STOPPED DANCIN' AND MONEY LIKE WHISKEY DID FLOW
SHE BOUGHT A ONE-WAY, A TICKET FROM SANTE FE
THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS ON A STAGE WITH A REST NOW AND THEN
SHE DIDN'T MIND THAT, SHE KNEW SHE WOULD FIND THAT
HER NEW LIFE WOULD BE MORE EXCITING THAN WHERE SHE HAD BEEN
THE STAGE MADE ITS LAST STOP, UP THERE ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP
TO LET HER SEE ALL OF THE LIGHTS AT THE FOOT OF THE HILL
HER WORLD WAS BRIGHTER AND DEEP DOWN INSIDE HER
AN UNCONTROLLED BEATING, HER YOUNG HEART JUST WOULDN'T BE STILL
SHE GOT A HOTEL, A ROOM AT THE LILY BELLE
QUICKLY SHE CHANGED TO A FORM-FITTING BLACK SATIN DRESS
EV'RY MAN STOPPED TO STARE, AT THIS FORM FINE AND RARE
EVEN THE WOMEN REMARKED OF THE CHARM SHE POSSESSED
DANCIN' AND LAUGHTER, WAS WHAT SHE WAS AFTER
AND ROSA'S CANTINA HAD LIGHTS, WITH LOVE IN THE GLEAM
THAT'S WHAT SHE HUNTED AND THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTED
ROSA'S WAS ONE PLACE, A NICE GIRL WOULD NEVER BE SEEN
IT WAS THE SAME WAY, IT WAS BACK IN SANTE FE
MEN WOULD MAKE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES AT THE THOUGHT OF ROMANCE
ROSA TOOK HEED OF, THE PLACE WAS IN NEED OF
THIS KIND OF EXCITEMENT, SO SHE PAID FELEENA TO DANCE
A YEAR PASSED AND MAYBE MORE AND THEN THROUGH THE SWINGIN' DOORS
CAME A YOUNG COWBOY SO TALL AND SO HANDSOMELY DRESSED
THIS ONE WAS NEW IN TOWN, HADN'T BEEN SEEN AROUND
HE WAS SO DIFFERENT, HE WASN'T LIKE ALL OF THE REST
FELEENA DANCED CLOSE TO HIM, THEN THREW A ROSE TO HIM
QUICKLY HE WALKED TO HER TABLE AND THERE HE SAT DOWN
AND IN A DAY OR SO, WHEREVER FOLKS WOULD GO
THEY'D SEE THIS YOUNG COWBOY, SHOWIN' FEELENA THE TOWN
SIX WEEKS HE WENT WITH HER, EACH MINUTE SPENT WITH HER
BUT HE WAS INSANELY JEALOUS OF GLANCES SHE'D GIVE
INSIDE HE WAS A-HURTIN', FROM ALL OF HER FLIRTIN'
THAT WAS HER NATURE AND THAT WAS THE WAY THAT SHE LIVED
SHE FLIRTED ONE NIGHT, IT STARTED A GUN-FIGHT
AND AFTER THE SMOKE CLEARED AWAY, ON THE FLOOR LAY A MAN
FELEENA'S YOUNG LOVER, HAD SHOT DOWN ANOTHER
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
QUICKLY SHE RAN TO THE DOOR, THAT WAS FACIN' THE PASS
SHE SAW HER COWBOY, HER WILD-RIDIN' COWBOY
LOW IN THE SADDLE, HER COWBOY WAS RIDIN' IN FAST
SHE RAN TO MEET HIM, TO KISS AND TO GREET HIM
HE SAW HER AND MOTIONED HER BACK, WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND
BULLETS WERE FLYIN', FELEENA WAS CRYIN'
AS SHE SAW HIM FALL FROM THE SADDLE AND INTO THE SAND
FELEENA KNELT NEAR HIM, TO HOLD AND TO HEAR HIM
WHEN SHE FELT THE WARM BLOOD THAT FLOWED FROM THE WOUND IN HIS SIDE
HE RAISED TO KISS HER AND SHE HEARD HIM WHISPER
"NEVER FORGET ME - FALEENA IT'S OVER, GOODBYE"
QUICKLY SHE GRABBED FOR, THE SIX-GUN THAT HE WORE
AND SCREAMIN' IN ANGER AND PLACIN' THE GUN TO HER BREAST
BURY US BOTH DEEP AND MAYBE WE'LL FIND PEACE
AND PULLIN' THE TRIGGER, SHE FELL 'CROSS THE DEAD COWBOY'S CHEST
OUT IN EL PASO, WHENEVER THE WIND BLOWS
IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY AT NIGHT, YOU'LL HEAR IN THE WIND
A WOMAN IS CRYIN', IT'S NOT THE WIND SIGHIN'
OLD TIMER'S TELL YOU, FELEENA IS CALLIN' FOR HIM
YOU'LL HEAR THEM TALKIN' AND YOU'LL HEAR THEM WALKIN'
YOU'LL HEAR THEM LAUGH AND YOU'LL LOOK, BUT THERE'S NO ONE AROUND
DON'T BE ALARMED - THERE IS REALLY NO HARM THERE
IT'S ONLY THE YOUNG COWBOY, SHOWIN' FELEENA THE TOWN

BUT HE STILL LOVED HER THROUGH IT ALL
HOPING SHE'D COME BACK AGAIN
(UP ONE KEY) HE KEPT SOME LETTERS BY HIS BED
DATED NINETEEN-SIXTY-TWO
HE HAD UNDERLINED IN RED
EVERY SINGLE "I LOVE YOU"
I WENT TO SEE HIM JUST TODAY
BUT I DIDN'T SEE NO TEARS
ALL DRESSED UP TO GO AWAY
FIRST TIME I'D SEEN HIM SMILE IN YEARS
(CHORUS, UP ONE KEY) HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY
THEY PLACED A WREATH UPON HIS DOOR
AND SOON THEY'LL CARRY HIM AWAY
HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY
(RECITE) YOU KNOW, SHE CAME TO SEE HIM ONE LAST TIME
WE ALL WONDERED IF SHE WOULD
AND IT KEPT RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND
THIS TIME HE'S OVER HER FOR GOOD (CHORUS)
I WENT TO SEE HIM JUST TODAY
