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'
