She was a good girl from the family well respecting

Until he offered her the whole world in her hands

Then she went with him to do the things he wanted

She didn't know the morals of a man

It didn't take long until he changed her from a good girl

Since he forgot to buy a wedding band

Then he left her here in life for he had made her

She was learning fast the morals of a man

Now she don't even try to hold her head up

And they call her name she don't quite understand

Look out upon by those she thought who loved her

Too late she learned the morals of a man

[ guitar ]

Many long nights she holds her baby to her

And thinks quietly she has her whole world in her hand

For she has no one left except her baby

Yes she learned well the morals of a man yes she knows well the morals of a man
