| Album | The Drifter |
| [00:07.907] | Out in New Mexico many long years ago |
| [00:11.394] | There in a shack on the desert one night in a storm |
| [00:19.096] | Amid streaks of lightning and loud desert thunder |
| [00:22.721] | To a young Mexican couple a baby was born |
| [00:30.353] | Just as the baby cried thunder and lightning died |
| [00:34.089] | Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same |
| [00:41.609] | Mother and father both proud of the daughter |
| [00:45.321] | That heaven had sent them Felena was this baby's name |
| [00:52.932] | When she was seventeen bothered by crazy dreams |
| [00:56.548] | She ran away from the shack and left them to roam |
| [01:03.940] | Father and mother both asked one another |
| [01:07.668] | What made her run away what made Felena leave home |
| [01:15.092] | Tired of the desert nights fartherly grieved to strife |
| [01:18.876] | She ran away late one night in the moon's golden beam |
| [01:26.100] | She didn't know where she'd go but she'd get there |
| [01:30.012] | And she would find happiness if she would follow her dream |
| [01:37.444] | After she ran away she went to Santa Fe |
| [01:41.132] | And in the year that she stayed there she learned about life |
| [01:48.605] | In just a little while she learned that with her smile |
| [01:52.326] | She could have pretty clothes she could be any man's wife |
| [01:59.790] | Rich men romanced her they dined and they danced her |
| [02:03.318] | She understood men and she treated them all just the same |
| [02:10.534] | A form that was fine and rare dark shining glossy hair |
| [02:14.678] | Lovely to look at Felena was this woman's name |
| [02:22.206] | Restless in Santa Fe she had to get away |
| [02:25.854] | To any town where the lights had a much brighter glow |
| [02:33.110] | One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso |
| [02:36.806] | They never stopped dancing and money like whiskey would flow |
| [02:44.127] | She bought a one way a ticket from Santa Fe |
| [02:47.910] | Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then |
| [02:55.134] | She didn't mind that she knew she would find that |
| [02:58.918] | Her new life would be more exciting than where she had been |
| [03:06.374] | The stage made it's last stop up there on the mountain top |
| [03:09.990] | To let her see all the lights at the foot of the hill |
| [03:17.478] | Her world was brighter and deep down inside her |
| [03:21.086] | An uncontrolled beating her young heart just wouldn't be still |
| [03:28.502] | She got a hotel a room at the Lily Belle |
| [03:32.190] | Quickly she changed to a form fitting black satin dress |
| [03:39.502] | Every man stopped to stare at this form fine and rare |
| [03:43.334] | Even the women remarked of the charm she possessed |
| [03:50.878] | Dancing and laughter was what she was after |
| [03:53.928] | And Rosa's Cantina had lights with love in the gleam |
| [04:01.890] | That's what she hunted and that's what she wanted |
| [04:05.392] | Rosa's was one place a nice girl would never be seen |
| [04:12.896] | It was the same way it was back in Santa Fe |
| [04:16.537] | Men would make fools of themselves at the thought of romance |
| [04:23.624] | Rosa took heed of the place was in need of |
| [04:27.170] | This kind of excitement so she paid Felena to dance |
| [04:34.618] | A year passed or maybe more and then through the swinging doors |
| [04:38.274] | Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed |
| [04:45.578] | This one was new in town hadn't been seen around |
| [04:49.315] | He was so different he wasn't like all of the rest |
| [04:56.554] | Feleena danced close to him then threw a rose to him |
| [05:00.243] | Quickly he walked to her table and there he sat down |
| [05:07.410] | And in a day or so wherever folks would go |
| [05:11.210] | They'd see this young cowboy showing Felena the town |
| [05:18.676] | Six weeks he went with her each minute spent with her |
| [05:22.138] | But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd give |
| [05:29.546] | Inside he was a hurting from all of her flirting |
| [05:33.098] | But that was her nature and that was the way that she lived |
| [05:40.322] | She flirted one night it started a gun fight |
| [05:44.114] | And after the smoke cleared away on the floor lay a man |
| [05:51.114] | Felena's young lover had shot down another |
| [05:54.946] | And he had to leave there so out through the back door he ran |
| [06:02.458] | The next day at five o'clock she heard a rifle shot |
| [06:06.162] | Quickly she ran to the door that was facing the pass |
| [06:13.330] | She saw her cowboy her wild riding cowboy |
| [06:17.122] | Low in the saddle her cowboy was riding in fast |
| [06:24.538] | She ran to meet him to kiss and to greet him |
| [06:28.147] | He saw her and motioned her back with a wave of his hand |
| [06:35.396] | Bullets were flying Felena was crying |
| [06:39.011] | As she saw him fall from the saddle and into the sand |
| [06:46.759] | Felena knelt near him to hold and to hear him |
| [06:50.391] | As she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side |
| [06:57.619] | He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper |
| [07:01.284] | Never forget me Felena it's over goodbye |
| [07:08.463] | Quickly she grabbed for the six gun that he wore |
| [07:12.007] | And screaming in anger and placing the gun to her breast |
| [07:19.391] | Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace |
| [07:23.118] | And pulling the trigger she fell cross the dead cowboy's chest |
| [07:30.271] | Out in El Paso whenever the wind blows |
| [07:33.814] | If you listen closely at night you'll hear in the wind |
| [07:41.207] | A woman is crying it's not the wind sighing |
| [07:44.887] | Old timer's tell you Felena is calling for him |
| [07:52.055] | You'll hear them talking and you'll hear them walking |
| [07:55.807] | You'll hear them laugh and you'll look but there's no one around |
| [08:02.999] | Don't be alarmed there is really no harm there |
| [08:06.847] | It's only the young cowboy showing Felena the town |
