FALSE HEARTED GIRL
(Delmore - Delmore)
TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD & ELLA MAE MORSE
(CAPITOL 2215, 1952)

You love me in the sunshine
You hate me in the rain
When old man trouble is hanging 'round
It always seems to rain
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

You said that you'd be true babe
And told me that we'd wed
Now you won't even see me
And I wish that I was dead
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

You double crossed me babe
You know you done it too
You never hug and kiss me
Until the red is due
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

I wish I was an outlaw
I'd draw my gun and fire
I'd fire it at your heart babe
Because you are a liar
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

When Gabriel blows his trumpet
And we shall all arise
There'll be nobody up there
Who'll believe your dirty lies
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

And if you go before me
And find it different there
I know that you'll remember
You did not treat me fair
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
