I hate to see that sun sink low
Just for a cause you ought to know
For it’s true life I can’t forget
All of my sorrow you’ll soon regret

You promised me love that was true
I’m sorry to say that I believed in you
But 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 lord it seems so mean
There’s a million worries I can’t explain
Think of this girl before you change your name

They’ll go away and leave you at home
They’ll 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
