Heartbender

Heartbender

my lady love she went away 
my heart was sorely rent 
my tortured mind said die today 
my battered soul near went 

she dropped me and she run away 
she seemed from heaven sent 
she seemed to want to make me pay 
she did now me resent 

i cast her off the other day 
i traveled far and went 
i met another girl today 
i think for me she`s meant! 

by D H Johnson ...she stayed 22 years
went off with wife stealing cousin Wayne:)
