Ain't this a pity, people ain't this a cryin' shame I'm gonna retire on the delta, layin' out there in the Fallin' rain Well you know it's nine below zero, she put me down for Another man Gave her all of my money, all of my love and everything I gave her

This ain't no sham. I am what I am. We will run and scream. You will dance with me. And we'll be free And they'll heal our scars. Sadness will be far away. Your eyes, they tie me down so hard. I'll never learn to put up a guard.
