HEART OF STONE
(Johnny Bond / Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb - 1945


Once you had a heart of gold
Then you let your love grow cold
I was once your very own
But now your heart has turned to stone

Heaven help your Heart Of Stone
Help the heart I called my own
Tell me why the love I new
Had to prove to be untrue

Instrumentals

Mercy, mercy hear me cry
All our love was just a lie
I don’t mean a ting to you
Heart Of Stone you’re so untrue

Heart Of Stone or heart of gold
Both can sometimes be so cold
How could you be so unfair?
Why did you pretend to care?

Heaven help your Heart Of Stone
Help the heart I called my own
Tell me why the love I new
Had to prove to be untrue
