She gave her love away. She never asked for promises Or a golden wedding band. She didn't want to marry To be tied to any man. The joyfulness within her Wide as the sky above. Than ever she could give.
Sad children grow in the darkness With the hunger and the cold.
Still, men like a pretty woman Until drinking makes her old. The county took away the children And the years passed by One day she saw she d changed From party girl to old barfly. No one remembers her laughter, Or the lonely tears she cried. All rights reserved.
