Every Time I Trust A Gal

(앨범: Country Music Then And Now - 1972)

He was born on the twelfth of March and the winds did blow
Since then ill winds still follow me everywhere I go
He's been broke in every state and every major town
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down

He sized up a little bank in Logansdale
Then I got ta thinking and I lost my nerve and threw my gun away
They caught him down by the railroad track and run him out of town
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down

Every joy I've known has turned to pain
If I pick me up they'll come along and knock me down again

He's gambeled away every cent he ever made
If I fill my inside straight somebody else is holding spades
He's been unfit and unqualified for every job he's found
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down

Every love I've known has passed me by
I'll never learn 'cause I guess I've been passed five thousand times

So he turns to the open road and shrugs his mind
With an empty feeling and a lonely heart without a single dime
And we know that's how it'll be till they put him in the ground
Yeah, and every time I trust a gal she lets me down

Every time I trust a gal she lets me down...
