False Hearted Lovers Blues

A False hearts have been my downfall D A Pretty women have been my craze D I'm sure my false hearted lover A E A Will drive me to my lonesome grave They'll bite the hand that feeds them D A Spend all the money you can save D A From your heart strings weave silk garters E A Build a dog house on your grave A When my earthly stay is over D A Sink my dead body in the sea D Just tell my false hearted lover A E A That the whales will watch over me Ragged clothes dropping from my body D A The wolf howls around my door D A The man who won my darling girl E A Will feel the bite of my forty four A Corn whiskey has wrecked my body D A A false hearted lover is a bearing on my mind D I've roamed the whole world over A E A Pleasure on earth I cannot find A When my earthly stay is over D A Sink my dead body in the sea D Just tell my false hearted lover A E A That the whales will watch over me A If I meet my darling girl again D A I'll tell her all about my troubles D A Give her these false hearted lover's blues E A And leave her stranded in the shallows A All men take this timely warning D A It is both for young and old D A Don't try to buy a woman's love E A With the last dollar of your gold A Take warning you fair young ladies D A If your love and honor you have sold D A The men will have no use for you E A When your dark hair turns to gold A When my earthly stay is over D A Sink my dead body in the sea D Just tell my false hearted lover A E A That the whales will watch over me
