Lyrics Hank Thompson

Hank Thompson

How Cold Hearted Can You Get

While you're honky-tonkin' 'round

All you do is run me down

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?

You're tellin' all your friends

What a rascal I have been

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?

I remember back when I was

Tall hog at the trough

Now my money's gone

And you have really fluffed me off

You're giving me the blame

You ought to hang your head in shame

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?

Now gal, I can't forget

How you got me deep in debt

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?

You said as you slammed the door

I was square as a four by four

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?

You called me every thing you could

From a dummy to a dope

I know that you'd be satisfied

If I took strychnine and croaked

When I say that you'll regret

You just puff that cigarette

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?

All the lies you've told on me

You'll regret someday

When Saint Peter says

"Now gal, just go the other way"

Now I guess you'll say to him

It was all my fault again

Now we're parted

How cold hearted can you get?
