(Hank Williams)      I tried so hard my dear to show you're my every dream   Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just an evil scheme   A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart   Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.      Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue   And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do   In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start   Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.      --- Instrumental ---      You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry   You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try   Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart   Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.      There was a time when I believed you belonged to me   But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory   The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart   Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart...
