I had myself a true love,
|
a true love that was somethin' too see.
|
I had myself a true love, At least that's what I kept on tellin' me.
|
The first thing in the morning, I still try to think of a way,
|
to be with him some part of the evenin',
|
and that's the way i live through the day.
|
She had herself a true love, and now he's gone and left for good.
|
The lord knows I done heard those backyard whispers goin roun'
|
the neighborhood.
|
There may be alot of things i miss,
|
a lot of things i don't know,
|
but i do know this, Now i ain't got no love,
|
and once upon a time i had a true love.
|
|
In the evenin, by the doorway, while i stand there and wait for his coming
|
with the house swept, and the clothes hung,
|
and the pot on the stove there a hummin',
|
where is he while i watch the risen moon.
|
With that gal in that damn ole saloon.
|
No that ain't the way that it used to be
|
No and everybody keeps tellin me,
|
there may be alot of things i miss, I lot of things i don't know
|
but i do know this.
|
Now i ain't got no love, but once upon a time i had a true love
|
