I know I'm heading for a trail of sorrow
And I know that I've been wrong dear from the start
I know I'll have to face a sad tomorrow
And it breaks my heart to know that we must part
I thought that I was smart to stay out drinking
And better yet when I lied and got by
But little did I know of all the sorrow
I even wish now darling I could die
A deck of cards, a jug of wine and a woman
Have cause me all the pain that I've gone through
My money's gone and so are you my darling
And without them now, I find my friends are few
I know I'm heading for a trail of sorrow
And I know that I've been wrong dear from the start
I know I'll have to face a sad tomorrow
And it breaks my heart to know that we must part
