False hearts have been my downfall
Pretty women have been my craze
I'm sure my false hearted lover
Will drive me to my lonesome grave
They'll bite the hand that feeds them
Spend the money that you save
From your heart strings and silk garters
They'll build a dog house on your grave
When my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body in the sea
Just tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will watch over me
Ragged clothes are dropping from my body
Well, wolf howls around my door
The man who won my darling girl
Will feel the bite of my forty four
Corn whiskey has wrecked my body
A false hearted lover is on my mind
I've roamed the whole world over
Pleasures here on earth I cannot find
If I meet my darling girl again
I'll tell her about my trouble
I give her these false hearted lover's blues
Leave her stranded in the shallows
All men take this a warning
It is both for young and old
Don't try to buy a woman's love
With the last dollar of your gold
Take warning you young lady
If your love and honor you have sold
The men will have no use for you
When your dark hair turns to gold
