Somebody's Always Leaving

歌詞

Mama died when I was born that July Daddy took the drinking long before he died Grandma kept me up until her passing Somebody's always leaving I've met Betty Jo at school for orphans In those two years we saw each other often A car wreck took her life before our wedding Somebody's always leaving Susan Johnson left me three good children They say the man she left with went to prison God knows I done my best to try to raise 'em Somebody's always leaving Six years ago Susie called from Ireland Mary Jane sent me a card from Wheeling The telegram said my son died for freedom Somebody's always leaving They said that barroom brawl was all my doin' They knifed my pal that's when I started shootin' The only friend I've had lay there bleeding Somebody's always leaving This cell ain't big but it's big enough for thinking This bed sheet makes her rope that's what I'm making When they'll find me quite right bored there'll be no weeping Somebody's always leaving Somebody's always leaving
