Girls In Disgrace Lyrics - Jean Shepard

So faithfully you promised me we'd marry in the spring 

A year has passed and now at last I see through everything 

Just like a fool I let you rule this heart inside of me 

Now you don't care how many years I'll spend in misery 

Girls in disgrace must surely face the gossips of the town 

And everytime she's passing by they greet her with a frown 

You constantly reveal to me that you could never be 

The kind of man to understand girls in disgrace like me 

[ guitar ] 

So patiently I try to see and understand your game 

I'd even wait night after night you seldom ever came 

I know you'll say I'm all to blame I know you just can't see 

How I could think so much of you and never think of me 

Girls in disgrace must surely face...
