TRUE LIFE BLUES (Bill Monroe)

from "True Life Blues, The Songs Of Bill Monroe" (Sugar Hill, SHCD-2209)

I hate to see, that sun sink low.

Just for a cause, you ought to know.

For its true life, I can't forget.

All of my sorrows, you'll soon regret.

You promised me, love that was true.

I'm sorry to say, that I believed in you.

But its all turned out, just like a dream.

Left me so sad, The end the world it seems.

There's dishes to wash, and a house to clean.

There's a washing to do, Lord it seems so mean.

There's a million worries, I can't explain.

Think of this girl, before you change your name.

They'll go away, and leave you at home.

They'll never care, if you're alone.

They seem to forget, they've got a wife .

This story is sad, but its a true life.
