THAT MY DARLING IS ME
(Justin Tubb)

Ernest Tubb – 1958


Take a body that’s tortured with pain
And give it a head that’s bowed down in shame
Add two arms that once held you tight
But only hold a pillow tonight

Then give it a heart that once lived for you 
But now is dieing like broken hearts do
Then add two lips you grew tired of you see
That My Darling Is Me

Ah Billy Byrd
Instrumentals

Then give it eyes that thought they could see
As great a love as there ever could be
Add two ears that listen to all the gossip 
That proved to be true

Then give it a soul that’s shattered and torn
And a wedding ring that never was worn
I know this maybe a strange sight to see
But That My Darling Is Me
