TRUE LIFE BLUES
Bill Monroe
I hate to see the sun sink low,
Just for a cause you ought to 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,
And I'm sorry to say that I believed in you.
It's all turned out just like a dream,
Left me so sad in the world it seems.
There's dishes to wash and a house to clean.
There's washing to do. Oh, 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.
This story is sad, but it's a true life.
