~Old Dan Tuckers Sad Tale ~

"Old Dan Tucker" chased
"The Lady In Red".
He was looking for a little
"Afternoon Delight".

He kept telling her how
"Hopelessly Devoted" he
is to her.
But she paid no attention.

"STOP" in the name of love
and let me talk to you.
Then she let it all spill out.
Why she was running from him.

"Everybody'sTalking" about you
and "Mrs. McGrath".
It all started with a "Careless Whisper"
now it's all over town.
How do you think that makes me feel?

"Your Cheating Heart" has played me
for a fool one too many times.
"You're Always On My Mind" but you
just threw me away.
Now you come back wanting me to let
you in.

" Well, "Old Dan Tucker" walked away.
Kept asking himself "How Do You Mend A
Broken Heart?"
"She's My Rock" but now she is gone.
He came home and sent her some
"Wine Colored Roses".

Now he is sitting in a smoky bar
singing "Bartenders Blues".
He has now joined the tug boat crew
and is working on "The Erie Canal".
He "Stopped Loving Her Today".
