Текст песни The Drifter

he came from a settlement some miles away they looked at him oddly strange the things he would say so sharp so hard amused by his words he walked on in search of a bride to call his own i'll dine with you at the wedding feast a drifter to most folks but some could see that he was wise no beggar was this man he said he came to give life oh in a circus show they might have let it slide but now they give him threats they say he'll have to die oh this traveling ma all he ever wanted was a bride i'll dine with you at the wedding feast i cried when he died it seemed to make no sense to kill a man for loving you is to kill yourself instead i wish i knew but i can't explain when i hear the drifter say you can't kill a dead man he's alive just the same
