WHY I DON'T TRUST THE MEN
(Cindy Walker)
Cindy Walker - 1942
I'll never listen to another feller's plea
Of how much he loves and my sweetheart he will be
'Cause just once I done it, but I won't do it again
For this is the reason why I don't trust the men
(Instrumental Break)
He had my heart a-beatin' inside my breast
Like a bird in a cage and when he confessed
That I was his true love and looked in my eyes
Oh Lord, what a tremble in my bosom did rise
(Instrumental Break)
He sold fancy brushes, that's how we did meet
And he sure did swept me, clear off of my feet
Then gave me the brush off without any hint
Oh, what a cruel fate to me has been sent
(Instrumental Break)
My heart is broken, he left suddenly
And married another and made an old maid of me
The way I've been treated is just a shame and sin
And that is the reason why I don't trust the men
