(Dolly Parton)

Somone else's arms will hold you my darling, baby girl
I'll never get to see the child I brought into this world
Because I made one mistake folks say that I'm bad
But they just don't understand the way I loved your Dad.

Now I thought your Daddy loved me, I was so sure he did
And so I gave him all my love and he said, we would wed
But I guess he must have changed his mind 'cause he left town one day
When he found out about you he just up and ran away.

In this home so far away from home I leave my heart today
'Cause home is where the heart is and with you, my heart will stay
Because I love you so much, why, I can't make you pay
So I'm doing this for your sake, I'm giving you away...
