(Johnny Horton)
Well today I'm so weary
Today I'm so blue

Sad and broken hearted
And it's all because of you


Life was a sweet girl
Live was a song
But now you've gone and left me

Tell me where did I go wrong

And it's all for the love

Of a dear little girl
All for the love
That sets my life in a whirl


I'm a man who'd give his life
And the joys of this world

All for the love of a girl
