Lyr Req: False Hearted Man

I've been trying to get the lyrics/author/singing artist of this song for years. I got the tune and partial lyrics from a 30-40 year old bad recording. I think it may be a country song/artist as it was the typical repetoire of the lady sining on the tape. Here are some words that will hopefully trigger a memory from someone out there:

Don't fall in love, with a false hearted man
And if you don't listen, there's no one to blame
You will be broken hearted, if you [couldn't make out words]
Don't fall in love, with a false hearted man

Don't try to change him, [therein lies the game]
[for if love don't know, he will try just the same]
And if you don't listen, you have no one to blame
Don't fall in love, with a false hearted man

Hmmmm- there are those who might disagree with me on this - we have lots of false-hearted women, but the only false-hearted man I could find around here is the Outlandish Knight:

    "Lie there, lie there you false hearted man
    Lie there instead of me
    For if six pretty maidens you have drowned there
    The seventh one hath drowned thee"

Yeah, that song came up when I did a search too...but not the False Hearted Man

BMI.com lists a song called FALSE HEARTED MAN, written by Martha Mary Sullivan, a member of SOCAN. (That would imply she's from Canada.)

Thanks! I'll try tracking down this lead.
