False hearts have been my downfall, pretty women have been my craze
|
I know my false hearted lover she has sent me to my lonesome grave
|
|
Baggy clothes dropping off my body and the wolves howling around my door
|
May the man who stole my darling girl feel the bite of my forty-four
|
|
Corn whiskey has wrecked my body and false love is on my mind
|
I've searched this whole wide world over, pleasure on earth I cannot find
|
|
When my earthly stay is over you can sink my dead body in the sea
|
You can tell my false hearted lover that the waves will wash over me
|
|
False hearts have been my downfall, pretty women have been my craze
|
I know my false hearted lover, she has sent me to my lonesome grave
