I Had Myself a True Love

I Had Myself A True Love - Barbara Lea

I had myself a true love

A true love who was something to see

I had myself a true love

At least that's what I kept on telling me

The first thing in the morning

I still try to think of a way to be with him

Some part of the evening

And that's how I live through the day

I had myself a true love but now he's gone

And left me for good

Lord knows I hear those back yard

Whispers going round the neighborhood

There maybe a lot of things I miss

And a lot of things I don't know

But I do know this now I ain't got no love

And once upon a time I had a true love

In the evening in the doorway

While I stand there and wait for his coming

With the house swept and the clothes hung

And a pot on the stove there I had meal

Where is he while I waste the rising newel

Without gal in that dame row slow

Now there ain't the way it used to be now

And everybody keeps telling me

There may be a lot of things I miss

And a lot of things I don't know

But I do know this now I ain't got no love

And once upon a time I had a true love

There may be a lot of things I miss

And a lot of things I don't know

But I do know this now I ain't got no love

And once upon a time I had a true love
