THE WAY OF MEN

Linda Allen



Well it's hard times most everywhere

I think I've had more than my share

That man of mine's so hard to please

He's driving me right to my knees



We married young, I was a child

Guess he grew up some kind of wild

His daddy beat him till he was grown

It's the only life he's ever known



CHORUS: The way of men, it's a hard one, friends

The hearts of women, so hard to mend



He beat me bad the day we wed

Just thought the beer went to his head

He cried and loved me so gently then

My mama told me it's the way of men



But then my baby inside me lay

And he got mad at me one day

He swung his fist, the sheets turned red

And later that night she was born dead



(CHORUS)



It isn't love that keeps me here

Somehow he'd find me anywhere

He said he'd kill me if I'd go away

May the devil in hell take him today



If I had wings like a turtledove

I'd fly away from the man I love

I'd fly so high, I'd fly so free

That the way of men would not touch me



(CHORUS)
