"Desire/zeal" from "The girl from the west."
Performed by Dora Weissman.
"Zeal, overwhelming desire, makes young men grey. It can lead one to the electric chair. It got a famous man named White shot dead by a jealous husband. Don't let it overcome you. Have control when desire or lust tries to overwhelm you."
