Recorded by Jean Shepard

C                   F           C
Why did you wait to prove to be untrue
                   D7             G7
Why did you change what come over you
C                    F          C
What made you stop a caring for me
F           C            G7        C
Why did you wait till we had a family

F                                C
Why did you wait till a baby was born
                   D7          G7
Think of the shame look at the harm
C                                 F        C
Think of what you've done to your baby and me
F           C            G7        C
Why did you wait till we had a family

                           F            C
I'd rather be dead than to tell her the news
                         D7                G7
Your daddy traded us for bright lights and booze
C                                F            C
I can see her little face as she cries in misery
F                  C            G7        C
Why don't my daddy stay with my mommy and me
