True Life Blues

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

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

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

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
