Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Well in the early autumn wind A lonely dove is flyin' Mournin' for his one true love He can't be blamed for cryin' He can't be blamed for cryin' [Verse 2] Well the rooster, he got twenty gals Well he's happy as a lark Well he wake 'em in the mornin' time Put 'em all to bed at dark Put 'em all to bed at dark [Chorus] Well if you've been true Well if you've been true You'd better look me in the eyes 'Cause all I smell is cheap perfume And gin... and smoke... and lies [Verse 3] Well where were you last Saturday All dressed up so pretty? With your blue-eyed ballroom boy In Oklahoma City In Oklahoma City [Verse 4] Well the spade is made for diggin' dirt And an axe is made for choppin' And darlin' my heart's hard as nails They hammer in a hardwood coffin In a hardwood coffin [Chorus] Well if you've been true Well if you've been true You'd better look me in the eyes 'Cause all I smell is cheap perfume And gin... and smoke... and lies [Verse 5] Well way down in the bottom land A big black crow is laughin' No one ever goes down there Wonder what has happened Wonder what has happened [Verse 1] And in the early autumn wind A lonely dove is flyin' Mournin' for his one true love He can't be blamed for cryin' He can't be blamed for cryin' [Chorus] Well if you've been true Well if you've been true You'd better look me in the eyes 'Cause all I smell is cheap perfume And gin... and smoke... and lies [Chorus] Well if you've been true Well if you've been true You'd better look me in the eyes 'Cause all I smell is cheap perfume And gin... and smoke... and lies And gin... and smoke... and lies
