I met you my country girl, you didn't have a thing
I fell in love, I dressed you up, then I bought the ring
I was teachin' you to love, you were learnin' fine,
Then one day you learned too much and it poisoned your sweet mind

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him, I bought the clothes on you
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you'll tell him, I bought the shoes on your feet

Now I've lost my country girl to a city love affair
He built you up, you fell for him, you didn't treat me fair
You think that he's a dream come true, he says he loves you so
But wait until the word gets out, I taught you all that you know

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him, I bought the clothes on you
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you'll tell him, I bought the shoes on your feet

Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996.
