Was offered the love of a girl who is married
A girl who said she'd be true
So I went to my heart to get the right answer
And here's what my heart said to do

Turn her down down you foolish man
Turn her down and leave her alone
Turn her down down as fast as you can
Turn her down and send her back home

Then I told my heart that this girl was so lonely
And that I was so lonely too
But my heart said forget her forget that you met her
There's only one right thing to do

Said my heart you can find you a girl who is single
A girl you can call all your own
If she can't be true to the one that she married
Then she'll never be true to you
