The story I tell you is old In fact the oldest in the world I feel that it must be told 'Til now no one's ever heard Somewhere in time there's a school A boy went there to read and write You were nobody's fool You quickly learned the game and how to fight Then when he was ten years old his parents got divorced Father was so cold and mother was so forced It hurts so bad inside He thought it was all his fault He discovered it was a lie All the things he once was taught Tomorrow's child he cries But only in his mind He gets so cold inside He leaves his ones behind, behind Today he is a full grown man Wife and children and a piece of land He's got a steady job No trouble in the way Suddenly there she stands Again in love he takes her by the hand He tries to tell his wife He wants this woman to stay in his life Tomorrow's child he cries But only in his mind He gets so cold inside He leaves his ones behind This is not the curse of God Nor of the accuser It's the curse of mankind An ordinary loser The older says: you can go to Hell The younger says: she's crazy He loves them both, they know this well Pride hold them back, they lose him Tomorrow's child he cries But only in his mind He gets so cold inside He leaves his ones behind, behind Women of this world today Don't wow this world away A man is fertile all his life This need is not right to deny I know it is not fair But it's a fact, it's not that we don't care Only one thing to do Put in the law a man can marry two
