Did I Turn Down A Better Deal Lyrics - Jean Shepard

When I met you long ago there were things I didn't know 

But how was I to know how I would feel 

When you made a goin' rough it made me see I had it tough 

It makes me wonder did I turn down a better deal 

If I had another chance to think it over 

I'm sure I'd found someone with more appeal 

There are things I really crave nice things you never gave 

It makes me wonder did I turn down a better deal 

[ fiddle - piano - guitar ] 

There's been others in my life who offered more to be their wife 

Fine things and true love was their deal 

But I took you instead I don't know why but I just did 

It makes me wonder did I turn down a better deal 

Now and then I meet an old flame and I wonder 

If I should let him know just how I feel 

But I know it's wrong somehow another gives him her love now 

And I still wonder did I turn down a better deal
