So long we've been married

Life's burdens we carried

Though faith kept us humble and made our love true

But plans that we make up

Someone seems to break up

Oh, darlin', what else can we do?



We may have to leave here

To find peace of mind, dear

Someplace where we can live a life of our own

I know you love me and happy we could be

If some folks would leave us alone



When i go out walkin'

There's lots of loose talkin'

They say we're unhappy, and we'll drift apart

But darlin' it's not true







Because i still love you

And i do with all of my heart



They say you are leavin'

That you are deceivin'

But you tell me they say the same about me

Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong

That loose talk can do harm

And hope that the truth they will see



We may have to leave here

To find peace of mind, dear

Someplace where we can live a life of our own

I know you love me

And happy we could be

If some folks would leave us alone

If some folks would leave us alone
