I feel so down and broken hearted
Cause my lady said she can't marry me
I just don't know how this started
All the plans were made
And we were ready to tell our family
And then she said this to me
People must see clear and easy
I would marry you
But Mama said no
Oh...
Did you tell your Mother
That, that you needed me
Ain't it so?
Ain't it so?
Ain't it so baby?
I bet one day you'll feel sorry
That your Mother said
You can't marry me
Now let's go back
Where we started
And tell your family
That your lover is waiting patiently
And that you still love me
I'm like a soldier of fortune
I will follow you
To my destiny's end
Oh...
Did you tell your Mother
That, that you needed me
Now ain't it so?
Ain't it so?
Ain't it so baby?
Now ain't it so?
Ain't it so?
Ain't it so baby?
