I've had this tune in my head and I know there have been several re-makes, can't recall the damn artist or song name though.
The artist is a solo guy, and the video I had seen him he was dressed in some Mexican looking black shirt / garb, hat with a round flat brim, etc. He is known for his leet acoustic guitar skills.

Not sure how I can describe this but here we go . . .

"there once was this lady, her name was <bla bla bla> I fell in love with a mexican girl."

Now that is not how it really goes but I think that is enough to get things moving from the experts here =D.

I think it's El Paso by Marty Robbins. The girl's name is maybe Feleena.

That sounds like "El Paso" by Marty Robbins maybe?

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

YES!! thank you Phlegm and Triel, that is the one !!

Ok, that was the song but not the artist I was looking for, or at least I don't think it was.

this is good info though and can work from there :)
