Lost Love Blues Lyrics by Dock Boggs

Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings (1927-29)

0

I lost you darling, true love
And now I'm growing old
My pockets gone all empty
Of both silver, and gold
While my money lasted
You gave my heart ease
But since I have nothing
You court who you please
I'm heartbroken and lonely
No one can take your place
Everywhere I chance a look
I see your smiling face
Darling, oh darling, sweetheart
Your name I'll never tell
If you don't change your cruel ways
My soul is doomed for Hell
Don't shed a tear, my darling
As the daisies o'er me grow
Just decorate my lonesome grave
With a wilted, faded rose
If I had a pass to glory
And it did not read for two
I'd trade it off for your true love
And stay on Earth with you
Your eyes they shine like diamonds
Your cheeks are like a rose
The way I love you, darling girl
Great God in Heaven knows
Lost love, lost love, my darling
How can you treat me so?
To leave your own true lover
And with a false one go
Many times over you I've pondered
Happy hours with you I've spent
You've won my heart forever
While yours was only lent
There'll come a time, my darling
In just a few short more days
You'll hang your head in sorrow
As I'm lowered in my grave
Keep all the little tokens
I have so fondly gave
Just grant to me my last request
Take them with you to your grave
Don't shed a tear, my darling
As the daisies o'er me grow
Just decorate my lonesome grave
With a wilted, faded rose
