Three, four
Sweetheart is let out of jail
Sweetheart just wants to stay small
Don't want any trouble, standing up tall
Sweetheart is let out of jail
Sweetheart got hurt long ago
She thinks she's got no place to go
She's getting out today, I'm meeting her half way
Sweetheart got hurt long ago
Sweetheart will sleep good tonight
Resting by the fireside
I'll wash her feet and hands, polish them with sand
Sweetheart will sleep good tonight
Sweetheart, I've loved you so long
I know that we've done some things wrong
With destiny in play I was powerless to say
Sweetheart, I've loved you so long
Sweetheart, I've loved you so long
Sweetheart, sweetheart
Sweetheart
