So long we’ve been married, life’s burdens we’ve carried
Though faith kept us humble and make our love true
The plans that we make up, someone seems to break up
Oh, darlin’, what else can we do?
We may have to leave here, to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me, and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone
They say you are leaving, that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we’ll show them they’re wrong, that loose talk will do harm
And hope that the truth they will see
We may have to leave here, to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me, and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walking, there’s lots of loose talking
They say we’re unhappy and we’ll break apart
But, darling, it’s not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart, yeah
We may have to leave here, to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone
