You went away with that man
Now what did he do for you?
You went away with that man
Now what did he do for you?
After he broke up your happy home
He did just like other men would do
But poor little me
I worked for you just like a slave
But poor little me
I worked for you just like a slave
You couldn't find nothing to quit me for
You tried to put me in my lonesome grave
Baby, I give you my love
I give you my silver and gold
I give you my love
I give you my silver and gold
And I don't see how you could
Try and destroy my soul
I give you money to waste
When I needed shoes on my feet
I give you money to waste
When I needed shoes on my feet
Now how could you have the heart, baby
To run away from me?
It's true I love you, babe
But your heart is like a piece of iron
It's true I love you, baby
But your heart is like a piece of iron
I believe if your mother was dying
You would be laughin' when you should be cryin'
