False Hearted Lover’s Blues Lyrics by Dock Boggs

Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings (1927-29)

0

False hearts have been my downfall
Pretty women have been my craze
I'm sure my false-hearted lover
Will drive me to my lonesome grave
They'll bite the hand that feeds them
Spend all the money you can save
From your heartstrings weave silk garters
Build their dog's house on your grave
When my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body in the sea
Just tell my false-hearted lovеr
That the whales will fuss over mе
Ragged clothes droppin' from my body
The wolf howlin' 'round my door
The man who won my darling girl
Feel the bite of my .44
Corn whiskey has wrecked my body
A false-hearted lover is a-bearin' on my mind
I've roamed the whole world over
Pleasure on earth I cannot find
When my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body in the sea
Just tell my false-hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me
If I meet my darling girl again
I'll tell her all about my troubles
Give her the false-hearted lover's blues
And leave her standin' on the pebbles
All men take this timely warning
It's both for young and old
Don't try to buy a woman's love
With the last dollar of your gold
Take warning, you fair, young ladies
If your love and honour you have sold
The men will have no use for you
When your dark hair turns to gold
When my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body in the sea
Just tell my false-hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me
