I took the train up from Illinois
I was followin' through on a letter you sent
I always feared that you'd be true
True to yourself to the bitter end
It just kinda happened or so she says
She was drinkin' and lonely, you know the rest
And he meant nothing, he was happenstance
She says, she loves me still and wants a second chance
But I don't wanna be together
I don't wanna be apart
I don't want none of this love for you, honey
Deep, deep down in my heart
Where is my golden crown
That you took and passed around
There's no telling what a man might do
With a life like this when it all falls through
But I don't wanna be together
I don't wanna be apart
I don't want none of this love for you, honey
Deep, deep down in my heart
You were my dream come true
Can't you see what you've put me through
The love that tears me apart
Still beats deep, deep down in my heart
Deep, deep, deep down in my heart
