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 sorrow you'll soon regret



You promised me love that was true

And I'm sorry to say that I believed in you

It's 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
