Another Man In Black

He took her out to the movies
He took her home to meet his kin
He took everything she dished out
She got him mad but he held it in

For five long years he said, I love you
For five long years, she said it back
Then she ran off with a drummer
And there goes another man in black

They met in church on a Sunday
By Tuesday they were in love
Two weeks later, they called a preacher
And got married with a blessing from above

For ten long years he gave her children
For ten long years he had her back
Then she told him she was leaving
And there goes another man in black

He grew up poor, he never had a nickel
She was from the right side of town
His people told him that'll never work out
But he worked until he damn near drowned

For twenty years he brought home a paycheck
He bought the clothes on her back
Without warning she got herself a lawyer
And there goes another man in black

Teenage sweethearts till he went into the army
They got married on the day he came home
She made a promise, I'll never leave you
And he never spent a single day alone

Forty years they took care of each other
Forty years, they went by in a flash
Till the cancer finally took her
And there goes another man in black
Yeah there goes another man in black
