Cold Cheater's Heart
It's an old familiar story of a boy and a girlAnd a love that went wrong from the startHow Bobby he loved Mary and she thought she loved himBut she found she had a cold cheater's heart And that life out on the farm ain't what she had in mindWhen she promised to honor and obeySo she took to runnin' round all over townAin't it funny how life turns out that way The years have tumbled by Bobby turned an ol' blind eyeTo the things he hoped just weren't trueAnd then came that fateful day when he had been awayLetras de cancionesOh they say he came home just too soon He found them lyin' there oh it was more than he could bearHe found a gun she cried don't be rashBut two shots filled the air he stood right there and staredThe deed was done it was over in a flash That old judge looked down and sighed he said Bobby you'll have to dieThe law is clear and it must take its tollThink on the deed you've done your race on earth is runAnd may God have mercy on your soul On a cold November morn in a prison so forlornThe warden prayed as did the parson tooAnd the crowd gathered there they heard him loud and clearHis final words were Mary I love you It's an old familiar story of a boy and a girlAnd a love that went wrong from the startHow Bobby he loved Mary and she thought she loved himBut she found she had a cold cheater's heart From Letras Mania
