Heart Of Iron (1942) — текст песни (Lonnie Johnson)

You run away with that man, what did he do to you?
You run away with that man, and what did he do to you?
Now your money’s all gone, and he’s got no more use for you.

Poor little me, I worked for you like a slave.
Poor little me, I worked for you just like a slave.
You couldn’t find nothin’ to quit me for, and you tryin’ to put
me my lonesome grave.

I give you money to waste, when I needed shoes on my feet.
I give you money to waste, when when I needed shoes on my feet.
Tell me how in the world, could you do those rotten things you do to me.

Baby I give you my love, even give you my silver and gold.
I give you my love, even give you my silver and gold.
How could you have the heart to destroy my soul.

Baby I love, but you have a heart of iron.
Babe I love, but your heart is like a piece of iron.
I believe if your mother was dyin’, you’d be laughin’ instead of cryin’.
