Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Poison Lies

Oh leave me or say that you want me

And the stories that they told all lie down

For somehow I can't make my heart believe them

They're only poison lies going 'round

It tough now that you're livin' reckless

Goin' places dear and doin' things that's wrong

Runnin' 'round with the crowd you once hated

Just to spite one that's loved you so long

Yeah at times we've tired of each other

Our love didn't seem to be the same

Then you thought I had gone found another

So you left me and I took the blame
