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 sorrows you’ll soon regret You promised me love that was true And I’m sorry to say that I believed in you For its 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
