What she wanted--that was law to me, and all the law I wanted.

All that I done for the sake of Dan Barry.

And then I took my life in my hands for him--not once, but day after day.
"Then he rode off and left her and I stayed behind.

D'you think it's been easy to stay here?
Man, man, I've had to hear her talkin' about Dan Barry day after day, and never a word for me.

And I had to tell her stories about Dan and what he'd used to do, and she' sit with her eyes miles away from me, listenin' an smilin' and me there hungerin' for just one look out of her eyes--hungerin' like a dyin' dog for water.
