I TRULY UNDERSTAND

I wish the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young.
I'd never seen your two brown eyes
Nor heard your flatterin' tongue, love,
(Nor) Heard your flatterin' tongue.

CHORUS: I truly understand that you love another man
And your love will no longer be mine.
I truly understand that you love another man
And your love will no longer be mine.

Now, who's gonna shoe your purty little foot?
And who's gonna glove your hand?
And who's gonna be your own true love
When I'm in a foreign land, love
When I'm in a foreign land? CHORUS

Well, Pap's gonna shoe my purty little foot,
And Ma'am's gonna glove my hand,
And you'll still be my own true love
When you're in a foreign land, love,
When you're in a foreign land. CHORUS

I'll never look for you in another woman's face
Or her hair, be it black or brown.
I'd rather stand on top of some hill
With the rain a-pourin' down, down,
The rain a-pourin' down. CHORUS
