Not long ago, I didn't have a worry in the world I just lived from day to day, and went from girl to girl
I owned nobody, nothing, and home was here and there
Then I met a girl, who was pretty, long black hair
A marriage followed, right away, but a curse was born, that very day
She wouldn't
She wouldn't
Oh, she couldn't treat me fair
She'd leave me home alone to worry, but she didn't care
While other hands caressed her long black hair
Loneliness

Loneliness
And rain burned in, a jealous bill of mud
I left the house, to find my love, and make her understand
I caught her with another, but they didn't see me there
As other hands caressed her long black hair
I left the house, to find my love, and make her understand
Up late with flashing in the night
Two forms lay there, soft and white
Daylight's coming fast, and I'm still here
Tomorrow, they'll be telling, how they found the way in bed
Three foolish people, one with long black hair.
