Sophronie |
Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em |
That used to be my motto so high |
Till my Sophronie left me so lonely |
Now there’s teardrops in my eyes |
My Sophronie’s from Kentucky, she’s found another man |
Can’t even kiss her, can’t even hold her hand |
Oh when we used to love beneath the stars up in the sky |
But now I’m just a hotshot with a teardrop in my eye |
Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em |
That used to be my motto so high |
Till my Sophronie left me so lonely |
Now there’s teardrops in my eyes |
Till Gabriel blows his bugle, I’ll be lovin that sweet girl |
She means more to me than the whole wide world |
I used to be a killer with the women me oh, my |
But now I’m just a hot shot with a teadrop in my eye |
Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em |
That used to be my motto so high |
Till my Sophronie left me so lonely |
Now there’s teardrops in my eyes |
I used to slay the pretty girls from Maine to Alabam |
Until I met Sophronie and then she let me down |
I seen so many pretty eyes and filled with bitter tears |
Find em, forget em, but now I have my fears |
Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em |
That used to be my motto so high |
Till my Sophronie left me so lonely |
Now there’s teardrops in my eyes |
