It was the year of ought one and our life had begun
no pBberils could make us disFtraught
Together we stood through bad and through good
no hardships that Ccouldn't be foFught
She fell ill one dark winter's night
andBb before too long Fshe passed
It would prove to be true my whole life through
that nothing gCood would lFast

It all ended that day when I saw her ride away
in the Bbback of that long black Fhearse
I remember so well my personal hell
began on this here Earth
I've half the heart I used to have and Bbhalf the will to goF on
I've got half a mind to drink myself blind
now Cthat my dFmarlin' iFs gone

Now the winter's teeth are biting down
and it cBbhills me to the bFone
To think about that cold mattress
and sleeping aCll aFlone
So now I know what I must do
the paBbth ahead of me is clFear
I must join her now wherever she's at
'cause I ain't doin' noC good Fhere
