She was angry when she left me

Clouds of sorrow furrowed her brow

I'm dizzy thinking where she's gone

Its not the same without her now

 

I'm a Texas boy I've had my fun

Belle had a heart that was pure

That kindled mercy for my lapses

She'll soon come back I'm sure

 

But was she holy as she seemed?

I should have treated her better

Maybe she'll ring some evening

Or will it be a Dear John letter?

 

I'm a Texas boy I've had my fun

Belle had a heart that was pure

That kindled mercy for my lapses

She'll soon come back I'm sure

 

They say she's with a cowboy now

What can she see in one so callow?

Maybe I misunderstood her needs

He sows and reaps while I lie fallow

 

I'm a Texas boy I've had my fun

Belle had a heart that was pure

That kindled mercy for my lapses

She'll soon come back I'm sure

 

Finding solace in the arms of Myra,

Came a familiar knock at the door

The smile on Belle's face vanished

She's not coming back anymore

 

I'm a Texas boy I've had my fun

Belle had a heart that was pure

That kindled mercy for my lapses

She'll soon come back I'm sure
