My baby's done me wrong
She took my love and's gone
She left me only teardrops
To cry while singin' this song
One thousand concrete blocks
A cold, damp concrete floor
Six iron bars on the window
And a big black lock on the door
Wherever you may be
I hope you're list'nin' to me
Come back for I still love you
Though you've been mean to me
(this verse is in the Billy Grammer cover replaced by:
Her lover fell like a tree
He just wouldn't listen to me
If he had just found another
Then I still would be free)
If you never return
I have already learned
To count the blocks made of concrete
And wait for the lock to turn
One thousand concrete blocks ...
