[Intro]
A
[Verse]
AFalse hearts have been my downfall
Pretty women have Dbeen my Acraze
I'm sure my false hearted Dlover
AWill Edrive me to my lonesome Agrave
They'll bite the hand that feeds them
Spend all the money Dyou can Asave
From your heart strings weave silk DgarterAs
EBuild a dog house on your Agrave
[Chorus]
AWhen my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body Din the Asea
Just tell my false hearted Dlover
AThat Ethe whales will watch Aover me
Ragged clothes dropping from my body
The wolf howls Daround my Adoor
The man who won my Ddarling Agirl
Will feel Ethe bite of my forty Afour
ACorn whiskey has wrecked my body
A false hearted lover is a Dbearing on my Amind
I've roamed the whole world Dover
APleasure Eon earth I cannot Afind
[Chorus]
AWhen my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body Din the Asea
Just tell my false hearted Dlover
AThat Ethe whales will watch Aover me
AIf I meet my darling girl again
I'll tell her all Dabout my Atroubles
Give her these false hearted Dlover's Ablues
And Eleave her stranded in the Ashallows
AAll men take this timely warning
It is both for Dyoung and Aold
Don't try to buy a Dwoman's Alove
With the Elast dollar of your Agold
ATake warning you fair young ladies
If your love and Dhonor you have Asold
The men will have no use Dfor Ayou
When your Edark hair turns to Agold
[Chorus]
AWhen my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body Din the Asea
Just tell my false hearted Dlover
AThat Ethe whales will watch Aover me
