so long we've been married
life's burdens we've carried
though faith kept us humble
made our love true

but plans that we make up
someone tries to break up
but darling what else can you do?

we may have to leave here to
find peace of mind dear
some place where we can live
a life of our own

but I know you love me
and happy we could be
if some folks would leave us alone

when I go walking
there's lots of loose talking
they say we're unhappy
we'll break apart

but I know its not true
because I still love you
and I do with all of my heart

we may have to leave here
to find peace of mind dear
some place where we can
live a life of our own

but I know you love me
and happy we could be
if some folks would leave us alone

they say you are leaving
that you were deceiving
but you tell me they say
the same about me

but we'll show them they're wrong
that loose talk can do harm
some day the truth they will see

we may have to leave here
to find peace of mind dear
some place where we can
live a life of our own

cause I know you love me
and happy we could be
if some folks would leave us alone
