My name was Stranger on the night that we metAnd then it was Sweetheart and it might have been yetBut my arms grew careless like a beard that they wouldNow my arms are empty, my lips are so coldMy name is Bud, my name is BudMy darling is goneShe won't even see me, she won't even write meShe won't even callOh, they call me a cheaterAnd they say I'm no goodAnd in any man's languageMy name is BudMy true love worshippedThe ground where I standTill she learned the hard wayThat it's just shifted sandShe cried enough teardropsTo start her a floodTeardrops wrote my name in the sandNow my name is BudMy name is BudMy darling is goneShe won't even see me, she won't even write meShe won't even callYet they call me a cheaterAnd they say I'm no goodAnd in any man's languageMy name is BudMy name is Bud
