Just for a cause you ought to know

For it’s true life I can’t forget

All of my sorrow you’ll soon regret

You promised me love that was true

I’m sorry to say that I believed in you

It’s all turned out just like a dream

Left me so sad in the world it seems

There’s dishes to wash and a house to clean

There’s a washin to do Lord it seems so mean

There’s a million worries I can’t explain

Think of this girl before you change your name

They’ll go away and leave you at home

They’ll never care if you’re alone

They seem to forget they’ve got a wife

This story’s sad but it’s true life
