[00:00.00]Dark Haired True Lover - Carter Family/Carter
[00:03.39]I once had a dark haired true lover
[00:05.96]
[00:07.55]She was all the world to me
[00:10.24]
[00:11.73]She promised herself to another
[00:14.17]
[00:16.17]Now don't you think it was me
[00:18.61]
[00:20.34]Take back every word you have spoken
[00:23.05]
[00:24.64]Let it be as though we've never met
[00:27.01]
[00:28.81]For tonight I'm a poor boy heartbroken
[00:31.20]
[00:33.11]I'll forgive but I'll never forget
[00:35.50]
[00:45.58]I was young when I wrote my first letter
[00:48.21]
[00:49.76]I blotted the lines with tears
[00:52.56]
[00:54.16]But now I am old I know better
[00:56.95]
[00:58.33]We've parted for many long years
[01:01.00]
[01:03.04]Take back every word you have spoken
[01:05.31]
[01:06.90]Let it be as though we've never met
[01:09.32]
[01:11.20]For tonight I'm a poor boy heartbroken
[01:13.65]
[01:15.61]I'll forgive but I'll never forget
[01:17.92]
[01:29.00]Oh Ruth Oh Ruth how I love you
[01:31.78]
[01:32.62]You just seemed to me like a bird
[01:35.18]
[01:36.95]Although you went back on your promise
[01:39.57]
[01:41.35]Although you went back on your word
[01:44.02]
[01:45.59]Take back every word you have spoken
[01:48.26]
[01:49.78]Let it be as though we've never met

[02:11.18]We parted in the month of September
[02:13.44]
[02:15.27]Some say we parted for life
[02:18.09]
[02:19.76]But I hope some day or another
[02:22.30]
[02:23.95]I'll call you my sweet darling wife
[02:26.78]

[02:41.07]I'll forgive but I'll never forget
[02:43.54]
[02:54.38]I wish I had someone to love me
[02:57.14]
[02:57.93]Someone to call me their own
[03:00.72]
[03:02.28]I'm out in this wide world a-wandering
[03:04.80]
[03:06.49]I'm tired of living alone
