Well, last night I came home an' I knocked on my door An' I called to my love as I oft had before An' I knocked an' I knocked: no answer thee came No kisses to greet me or voice call my name
An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord Couldn't believe it was true An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must've aged in years An' I couldn't believe it was true
Well, the shock was so great, I am quiverin' yet An' I'll try to forgive but I cannot forget My heart breakin' loss is another man's gain Her happiness, always, I hope will remain
An' I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord Couldn't believe it was true An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must've aged in years An' I couldn't believe it was true
