[C#m] [F#m]
[F#] False hearts have been my downfall, pretty women [C#] have been [F#] my grave.
I'm sure my false hearted lover will drive me to [C#] my [F#] lonesome grave.
They'll bite the hand that feeds them, spend the money [C#] that [F#] you save.
From your heart strings and silk garter, they'll build a [C#] doghouse on [F#] your grave.
When my earthly state is over, sink my dead [C#] body in [F#] their sea.
Just tell my false [A] hearted [B] lover [C#m] that the whales will watch [F#] over me.
[F#m]
[F#] [F#m]
[F#] Drag your clothes on from my body, wear a [C#] wolfhouse around [F#] my door.
Same man who won my darling girl will feel the bite [C#] of my [F#m] 44.
[F#] Corn whiskey has wrecked my body, false hearted lover's gone by [F#m] my.
[F#] I've roamed the [F#m] whole world over, places [C#m] here on earth I [F#] cannot find.
If I meet my darling girl again, I'll tell [C#] her about [F#] my trouble.
I'd give her these false [A] hearted [B] lover's blues, [C#] leave her [E] stranded in the [F#m] shallows.
[F#] Oh old man, take this warning, it is both for young and old.
Don't try to buy a woman's love with the last dollar [F#m] of your gold.
Take warning [F#] you young lady, if the love and honor you have sold,
the man will have [A] no use [B] for you [C#] when your [E] doghouse has [F#] to go.
