False Hearted Lover 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 they money that you saved

From your heartstrings and silk garter

They'll build a doghouse on your grave

When my earthly stay is over

Sink my dead body in that sea

Just tell my false hearted lover

That the whales will watch over me

Ragged clothes are droppin' from my body

Werewolf hounds, they ride my door

A man who won my darling girl

Will feel the bite of my .44

Corn whiskey has wrecked my body

False hearted lover's on my mind

I've roamed the whole world over

Pleasures here on Earth, I cannot find

If I meet my darling girl again

I'll tell her about my troubles

I give her these false hearted lover blues

Leave her stranded in the shallows

Go home and take this warning

It is both for young and old

Don't try to buy a woman's love

With the last dollar of your own

Take warning, you young ladies

With your love and honor you have shown

The man will have no use for you

When your dark hair turns to gold
