One of them boys who just left work
He smiles unhappy at the clerk

Always sweet and low
Always sweet and low
Always sweet and low
That's how we go

One of them girls at a cafe
Who pours no sugar in latte

Always sweet and low
Always sweet and low
Always sweet and low
That's how we go

There's no color in the faces
There's just no color in the eyes

Always sweet and low
Always sweet and low
