1. So long we've been married, life's burdens we've carried,
D E A - A7
though
faith kept us humble and made our love true.
D A
But plans that we made up,
someone seems to break up,
D A D - D7
oh
darling, what else can we do ?
G D
We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear,
A
D D7
someplace where we can live a life all
our own.
G D
For I know you l love me, and happy we could be,
A A7 D
if some folks would leave us
alone. + instrumental = CHORUS

2. While I go out walking, there's lots of loose talking,
D
E A - A7
they
say you're unhappy and we'll break apart.
D
A
But, darling, it's not true,
because I still love you,
D A D - D7
and I
do with all of my heart.

3. They say you are leaving, that you are deceiving,
D
E A - A7
but
you tell me they say the same about me.
D
A
But we'll show them they're
wrong, their loose talk can't do harm,
D A D - D7
and
hope that the truth they will see. + CHORUS
