Paroles de What a Pity
Out in Franklin CountyNot too far from here
Two men loved one woman
And the price they paid was dear
She said, I'd like to marry
But I'm not sure which one
I guess I'll play it out
Until the setting sun
One man stood before her
His hands trembling and cold
He said, I'd like to take you for my bride
To have and to hold
She said, But you must understand
I'm not sure who I love
It might be you and it might be him
That I am dreaming of
Sometimes in love
We play a deadly game
I hear the angels up above
Say, What a pity, what a shame
Her mother tried to tell her Mother, don't be so serious
Broken hearts can always mend
I will soon make up my mind
And besides, they're the best of friends
Meanwhile as she spoke these words
One was taking out his knife
And in a fit of jealous rage
He took his best friend's life
She ran down to where he lay dying
He was cradled in her arms
All that she could think to say was
I never meant to do you harm
The trial was a sad sad thing
All the judge could say -
I sent one man to prison
But the real killer got away
I guess I'll play it out
Until the setting sun
One man stood before her
His hands trembling and cold
He said, I'd like to take you for my bride
To have and to hold
She said, But you must understand
I'm not sure who I love
It might be you and it might be him
That I am dreaming of
Sometimes in love
We play a deadly game
I hear the angels up above
Say, What a pity, what a shame
Her mother tried to tell her Mother, don't be so serious
Broken hearts can always mend
I will soon make up my mind
And besides, they're the best of friends
Meanwhile as she spoke these words
One was taking out his knife
And in a fit of jealous rage
He took his best friend's life
She ran down to where he lay dying
He was cradled in her arms
All that she could think to say was
I never meant to do you harm
The trial was a sad sad thing
All the judge could say -
I sent one man to prison
But the real killer got away
