(Merle Haggard/Tommy Collins)



Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart



I watched him buy his ticket

In Charlotte, North Carolina

I heard him say, "One way, please, for Denver"

He's goin' to meet that other girl

It won't do us no good to cry

'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger



Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart



I watched him tip the porter

As he stepped aboard that midnight train

Bound to take him far away forever

I watched the taillight fade away

Knowin' he was gone to stay

I just wish this broken heart was goin' with him



Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart



Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
