Don't Trifle On Your Sweetheart Recorded by Ernest Tubb Written by Leon Payne [3/4 time]
G D7 Don't trifle on your sweetheart the one who wears your wedding ring G Keep in mind the vows you made her should mean more than anything D7 And the minutes stolen pleasure may break both your hearts into G Don't trifle on your sweetheart or she may start cheatin' too
C G Take the word of one who knows just what a trifling life will do C Or you'll be like the wind that blows A7 D7 And you won't care just why or who G D7 The minute that you trifle you can never be the same G Don't trifle on your sweetheart cause you can't live down the shame
D7 Don't trifle on your sweetheart she's the one who wears your brand G And the flappers who may chase you ain't the measure of a man D7 It's the things you do that matter not the things you think you do G Don't trifle on your sweetheart or she may start cheatin' too
C G Take the word of one who knows of one who's been a trifling man C A7 D7 You'll end up like some faded rose in some back alley garbage can G D7 Don't trifle on your sweetheart you'll be sorry if you do G If you trifle on your sweetheart she's got the right to trifle too.
