I Truly Understand You Love Another Man

I Truly Understand You Love Another Man - The New Lost City Ramblers

I wished to the Lord I'd never been born

Or died when I was young

'Fore I'd seen your pretty brown eyes

Or heard your fluttering tongue oh Lord

Heard your fluttering tongue

And I truly understand

That you love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

I truly understand

That you love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

Well who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot

And who's gonna glove your hand

And who's gonna be your only true love

When I'm in the foreign land love

When I'm in the foreign land

And I truly understand

That you love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

I truly understand

That you love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

Well Pop's gonna shoot my pretty little foot

And mama's gonna mow my hand

Then you'll still be my only true love

When you return again love

When you return again

I truly understand

You love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

I truly understand

That you love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

Well never listen to what another woman says

Her hair be it black or brown

But rather be on the top of some hill

With the rain a-pouring down down

The rain a-pouring down

I truly understand

You love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine

I truly understand

That you love another man

And your heart will no longer be mine
