I love the women and I love 'em all the same. Lord, I love the women and I love 'em all the same. But I don't love nobody well enough to change her name.
On the wings of a snow white dove he sends his pure sweet love. A sign from above on the wings of a dove. When troubles surround us when evils come. The body grows weak the spirit grows numb.
Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you. You asked me not to call you on the phone. There's something I've been waiting for to tell you. So I wrote it in the words of this song.
I'm the center of attention in this barroom. Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year. And each night those swinging doors reach out for me and draw me in.
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'. There's such an ache in this old heart now I ain't talkin'. The little hand that held mine tight just waved goodbye tonight.
Not long ago you held our baby's bottle. But the one you're holding now's a different kind. You just sit and wait to be somebody's baby. And it all depends on who will buy the wine.
I take too much abuse to me that's all I ever get. Yeah callin' a man like you a husband is just like callin' old wild cat a pet. You'd better stop your runnin' around say nothin' stop movin' on.
Your world was so different from mine don't you see. We couldn't be close though we tried. We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same. That's what happens when two worlds collide.
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands. Where on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyed my heart's command. Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands.
When you left I thought in time I'd soon get over you. Even told myself that I would find somebody too. Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory.
It's been many months dear since we've parted. And not one word have I heard from you. I'm so all alone and broken hearted and I wonder if you miss me too.
My hand holds a bottle of wine in Oklahoma in a bar alongside the railroad tracks. I'm a waitin' for a train to Waksahatchie. And when ole gets a goin' ole goin' ain't comin' back.
I'm alone with all my sorrow it's so hard to face tomorrow. Cause I knocked and no one met me at the door. I have asked the next door neighbor what you packed and went away for.
When it's prayer meetin' time in the hollow. In that vine covered shrine neath the pines. Then the girl that I love sends a prayer up above. Where we once pledged our love so divine.
What am I bid for these two eyes that gazed upon her. As a queen reighning on the throne. Once they were happy eyes now they're sad eyes goin' once goin' twice almost gone.
It amazes me how she can change my mind. When it seems to be impossible she can do it everytime. And the way she always loves me she's got that down perfect too.
In the evening at sundown is when I start to cry. When the sweet mem'ries of you keep drifting by. I'm alone and forsaken you've torn me apart. For the way that your're living is breaking my heart.
The years will see us together as they quickly pass away. Our hair'll make it lighter but our love will burn brighter. In our hearts we'll never change.
Put some money in the jukebox and let it play. For my heart is cold with its pain. Take the cork from the bottle of a warm red wine. And fill my glass up, again.
I'm sitting here alone so many years have gone. And yet it seems like only yesterday. That you were by my side we laughed dear and we cried. Those memories refused to go away.
