If I had a bottle I'd surely drink it on down No more pain, goodbye shame Then I'd head into town I'd walk all along the fine people Smile say "how do you do?" They wouldn't know and I wouldn't show The truth that I'm telling you Cause I'll not drink from the bottle And I'll not walk through the town Four cold walls and a window One shot two hearts down Once I was a young man Hair and eyes a glow I met a girl, the prettiest curls I had to make her my own She was promised to another And I knew her heart was true I couldn't stand the sight of his hand For I loved her two I took my father's rifle And I waited quite until One cold shot through love's embrace Left them quiet and still One shot two hearts down
