So long we've been married 
Life's burdens we carried 
Though they kept us humble and made 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 
Some place where we can live a life all our own 
For I know you love me, and happy we could be 
If some folks would leave us alone 

While I go out walkin' 
There's of loose talkin' 
They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart 
But, darlin', it's not true 
Because I still love you 
And I do with all my heart 

They say that you're leavin' 
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
