Tell me why you cried and why you lied to me.
Took my little girl out on a date last night
Next to her Gravel Gerty would have looked alright
Now I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea
Cause I said baby you look good to me
I told her I loved her and oh how I lied
Now she’s getting set to be my blushing bride
If she leads me to the altar I’m sunk
Cause I can’t tell the preacher I was drunk
So Lord have mercy on a no-count sinner
Give me one more chance to let another guy win her
I’m getting married in the morning.
Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime!
Pull out the stopper!
Let’s have a whopper!
But get me to the church on time!
All at once, he sent me round a note
Here’s the very note, this is what he wrote:
“Can’t get away to marry you today,
My wife, won’t let me!”
I got a letter this morning,
what do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead.
I got a letter this morning,
what do you reckon it read?
It said, “Hurry, hurry!
Because the gal you love is dead.”
Won’t come back from Dead-Man’s Curve.
When I am dead, and all my drinking’s o’er,
I will take one drink, then I’ll drink no more.
In case I mightn’t get it done that day,
I will take it now, and I’ll drink away!
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine.
When ya gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home.
Let me go back and start over.
What’s the use of being sober
When you’re gonna get drunk again?
Last time I was sober, man, I felt bad.
Worst hangover that I ever had.
When I came home on Monday night, as drunk, as drunk could be.
I saw a horse outside the door, where my own horse should be.
So, I called my wife and I said to her,
“Would you kindly tell to me,
Who owns that horse outside the door,
Where my own horse should be?”
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?
Your cheatin’ heart,
Will make you weep,
You’ll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep won’t come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you…
It’s a heartache, nothing but a heartache.
Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less, each day I love you more
Still, you turn me on
A fool never learns and I’m gonna do a very foolish thing.
I’m gonna stick by you, I’m gonna hang around, hang around,
And hope that you’ll love me again some day.
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don’t understand
You said you love me and that’s a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache’s in me till this day
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
