I Truly Understand – Bruce Molsky

I wish to the Lord I'd never been born,
Or died when I was a baby
Never would have seen your two brown eyes
Or eaten the salty gravy
Or eaten the salty gravy

Chorus:

I truly understand that you love another man
And your heart shall no longer be mind
I truly understand that you love another man
And your heat shall no longer be mine.

Who's goin' to shoe your pretty little feet
Who will glove your hand
Sho's goin' to kiss your ruby-red lips
When I'm in a foreign land, dear Lord
When I'm in a foreign land.

Chorus …

Poppa will shoe my pretty little feet
Momma will glove my hand
Sister will kiss my ruby-red lips
When I'm in a foreign land, dear Lord
When I'm in a foreign land.

Chorus …

Never will take another one's hand
Let her hair be black or brown
Rather be standin' on the top of some mound
Where the rain comes tumblin' down, my Lord
Where the rain comes tumblin' down.

Chorus …

Wish dear Lord I'd never been born
'n died when I was a baby
Never would've seen your two brown eyes
Or eaten the salty gravy
Or eaten the salty gravy

Chorus …
