Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I hate to see the sun sink low
Just for a cause, well, you oughta know
For it's true love, I can't forget
All of my sorrow you'll soon regret
[Verse 2]
You promised me love that was true
I'm sorry to say I believed in you
It all turned out just like a dream
Leave me so sad in the world it seems
[Verse 3]
There's dishes to wash and a house to clean
There's washin' to do, oh, Lord, it seems so mean
There's a million words I can't explain
Think of this girl before you change your name
[Verse 4]
They'll go away and leave you at home
They never care if you're alone
They seem to forget they've got a wife
The story is sad, but it's a true life
