The prettiest girl
In all the world
Is in a little Spanish town
But I left her for a Bonnie lass
And I told her
I'd see her around
But that Bonnie lass
And her heart of glass
Would not hold a candle
To bumming around
So don't cry for me
For I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day
Tell the boys back home
I'm doing just fine
I left my troubles and woe
So sing about me
For I can't come home
I've many more miles to go
Why, there's Miss Kelsey
You taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool
So don't cry for me
For I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky day
Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me
He told me many things
And he said sone
There's a lot of things in this world
You're gonna have no use for
ANd when you get blue
And you've lost all your dreams
There's nothin' like a campfire
And a can of beans
Why, there's Miss Kelsey
She taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool
So don't cry for me
For I'm going away
And I'll be back some lucky daysometimes its hard to be a woman
giving all your love to just one man
you'll have bad times
and he'll have good times
doing things you don't understand
but if you love him
please forgive him
even though hes hard to understand
and if you love him, oh be proud of him
'cause after all hes just a man
stand by your man
give him two arms to cling to
and something warm to come to
when the nights are cold and lonely
stand by your man
and show the world you'll love him
keep giving all the love you can
stand by your man
and if you love him
oh be proud of him
'cause after all hes just a man
stand by your man
give him two arms to cling to
and something warm to come to
when the nights are cold and lonely
stand by your man
and show the world you love him
and keep giving all the love you can
stand by your man
