Somebody`s Always Leaving — текст песни (Stonewall Jackson)

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
[ steel ]
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
[ steel ]
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 bleedin` somebody`s always leavin`
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
