Lyric I Had Myself A True Love

I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that s what i kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that s the way i live through the day
I had myself a true love, but now he s gone
And left me for good
The lord knows i don t hear those back yard
Whispers going round the neighborhood
There maybe a lot of things i miss
A lot of things i don t know
But i do know this, now i ain t got no love
And once upon a time i had a true love
In the evening, in the doorway
While i stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung
And a pot on the stove where i had meal
Where is he while i waste the rising newel?
Where is he? why d he gone so soon?
Now there ain t no way that it used to be, what now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There are may be a lot of things i miss
A lot of things i don t know
But i do know this now...
I ain t got no love
And once upon a time i had a true love.
