We're o ldest of friends
Need a little w ork, and there's f enc es to mend.
Steady girl, be my world
`Till the drifter come, now she's gone.

I let them go, how was I to know?
I'm down on my knees.
Nobody left to please.
Now it's o ver, they l eft in the spring
Her and the d rifter, looking for beau tiful things.
