The Ballad Of The Lonesome Farmer My name it don't mean nothing at all and you don't need to know I built my house way up on the ridge before the winter snow I worked those fields from dawn to dusk, they took the sweat of my brow I broke my back just staying alive but I made it through somehow Yeah I broke my back but I made it through somehow Come spring those flowers they broke in the fields and I took my self to town I saw her standing all alone the sunlight on her gown Well I courted her and I made her mine, I swore we'd have a life When summer it came and the grass it grew high I took her for my wife Yeah the summer it came and I took her for my wife But everyone knows that love is a lie though it's truer than many a fact And everyone knows that true love must die and you should never look back One day from over the top of the hill a handsome stranger came My woman she don't say nothing at all but I watched her just the same He said that he was passing through and soon be on his way But I'd seen that kind of man before and I knew that he would stay Yeah I'd seen his kind and I knew that he would stay For everyone knows that love is a lie though it's truer than many a fact And everyone knows that true love must die and you should never look back By the broken bones of the old river bed I found her in his arms I knew that I had lost her then a falling for his charms Well a cold, cold rage came over me, my world it all went dark In the blink of an eye I drew my gun and the bullets found their mark In the blink of an eye the bullets found their mark For everyone knows that love is a lie though it's truer than many a fact And everyone knows that true love must die and you should never look back Well I stood there staring at what I had done beneath a blood red sky Then I dug a hole so deep you could see to hell and you could hear them cry And I buried them there in that lonely grave with both my guilty hands And when at last the morning came I went back to work my land When the morning came I went back to work my land Yeah the morning came and I went back to work my land
