If I was free from you my darling I would start my life anew
We've been tied down oh so long dear I no longer can be true
Now I know that I should tell you it would be the thing to do
But I haven't got the heart to say I'm not in love with you
[ fiddle - piano ]
Just suppose and I should leave you take another for my own
Just suppose that I forsake you break my vows and leave you alone
Well I'm ashamed down deep inside that I have ever been untrue
But I haven't got the heart to say I'm not in love with you
