(Johnny Horton)
Words can cause a love to tumble
Jealous words are so unkind
Words can cause a heart to stumble
Or they make a waste of time
Refrain:
Words are sweet when your love speaks them
With your heart and with your eyes
Words can make your darlin' happy
Or they make your darlin' cry
-Solo-
I want you, Dear, to listen to me
And remember what you said
When you spoke those words in anger
They fell on my heart like lead
Refrain:
