The Stanley Brothers – I'm Better Off Now That You're Gone lyrics

I once had a sweetheart to love me
But now she has proven untrue
She's found a new love to treasure
That's why I'm walking round blue

The lies you told me are over
The heart you broke is gone
And friends they tell me I'm lucky
I'm better off now that you're gone

You broke my heart when you loved me
I've always counted on you
But now you've strayed with another
LIttle girl what more could I do

Some day I know you'll be sorry
You led my poor heart astray
You seemed to think it was funny
But some say darling you'll pay

I'm better off now that you're gone
