A cowboy return to the scene of his childhood to his sweetheart of long long ago
But today he return she was wed to another tells the story of heartbreak and woe
Cowboy ridin' sorrow hidin' head bowed lonesome and blue
Church bells ringin' boy sat singin' someone sayin' adie
Love's old sweet song was never meant to turn out wrong
Even in a cowboy's song bout old pal I guess we strayed too long
Yes sir heaven bless her either caress her as we ride the heartbreak trail
(Love's old sweet song
