I hate to see the sun sink low Just for a song 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 it all turned out just like a dream The people sang and the world is free
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 They called this girl, though I changed her name
They'll go away and leave you at home And never care if you're alone They seem to forget they've got a wife This story is sad, but it's true to life
