I hate to see the sun sink low   Just for a cause you ought to know   For it's true love I can't forget   All of my sorrow you'll soon regret      You promised me love that was true   And I'm sorry to say that I believed in you   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, oh it seems so mean   There's a million words I can't explain   Think of this girl, before you change your name      They'll go away and leave you at home   They 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
