Everything I have's in pawn,
and the gal I love is gone.
just as sure as you're born
Now people, you don't know,
but my heart is achin' so
She left me for another man,
that one living next door.
My life don't mean a thing,
When your heart is full of pain, and tears keep flowing,
just like showers of rain.
She wrecked all my future plans,
and have left me cold in hands.
And I'm sitting here wondering how
Believe, believe, believe,
Now if I could only hold my own heart right in my hand,
I would show all of you good people
Just what I have to stand for
When everything I had is gone
Just as sure as you're born
