False Hearted Lover's Blues
False hearts have been my downfall, Pretty women have been my craze; I'm sure my false hearted lover, Will drive me to my lonesome grave.
They'll bite the hand that feeds them, Spend all the money you can save; From your heartstrings weave silk garters, Build their dog house on your grave.
When my earthly stay is over, Sink my dead body in the sea; Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
Ragged clothes droppin' from my body, The wolf growlin' 'round my door; The man who won my darling girl
Will feel the bite of my forty-four.
Corn whiskey has wrecked my body, A false lover is bearin' on my mind; I've roamed the whole world over, Pressure on earth I cannot find.
When my earthly stay is over, Sink my dead body in the sea; Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
If I meet my darling girl again, I'll tell her all about my troubles; Give her the false hearted lover's blues
And leave her stranded on the pebbles.
All men take this timely warning, Which is for both young and old; Don't try to buy a woman's love
With the last dollar of your gold.
Take warning, you fair young ladies, If your love and honor you've sold, The men will have no use for you
When your dark hair turns to gold.
When my earthly stay is over, Sink my dead body in the sea; Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
They'll bite the hand that feeds them, Spend all the money you can save; From your heartstrings weave silk garters, Build their dog house on your grave.
When my earthly stay is over, Sink my dead body in the sea; Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
Ragged clothes droppin' from my body, The wolf growlin' 'round my door; The man who won my darling girl
Will feel the bite of my forty-four.
Corn whiskey has wrecked my body, A false lover is bearin' on my mind; I've roamed the whole world over, Pressure on earth I cannot find.
When my earthly stay is over, Sink my dead body in the sea; Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
If I meet my darling girl again, I'll tell her all about my troubles; Give her the false hearted lover's blues
And leave her stranded on the pebbles.
All men take this timely warning, Which is for both young and old; Don't try to buy a woman's love
With the last dollar of your gold.
Take warning, you fair young ladies, If your love and honor you've sold, The men will have no use for you
When your dark hair turns to gold.
When my earthly stay is over, Sink my dead body in the sea; Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
