I had myself a true love

A true love who was something to see

I had myself a true love

At least that's what I kept on telling me

The first thing in the morning

I still try to think of a way to be with him

Some part of the evening

And that's the way I live through the day

she had herself a true love but now he's gone

And left her for good

The Lord knows I've done heard those back yard

Whispers going 'round the neighborhood

There maybe a lot of things I miss

A lot of things I don't know

But I do know this now I ain't got no love

And once upon a time I had a true love

In the evening at the doorway

While I stand there and wait for his coming

With the house swept and the clothes hung

In a pot on the stove there's a hot meal

Where is he while I waste the rising newel

Where is he gone Why'd he gone just so long

Now there ain't no way that it used to be now

And everybody keeps telling me

There are may be a lot of things I miss

A lot of things I don't know

But I do know this now

I ain't got no love

And once upon a time I had a true love
