All my lifetime I've done wrong, never thinking I belonged And my problems stay with me 'cause my thoughts lie with she She was my girlfriend though I was mean, always there in my hour of need I took for granted her gentleness and have to live without her sweet caress And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast And as I lie me down to rest, there's a mountain of regret I turn my back on her true love, all my friends and the lord above And my drinking dragged me down to the bars in Cabbage town And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast And as I lie me down to rest, there's a mountain of regret And as I sit here feeling low, wondering why she had to go I know I see through my disgrace, the perfect beauty of her face And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast And as I lie me down to rest, there's a mountain of regret
