INTRO: Where did things go wrong I was everything you needed for so long And your heart was mine Til the end, the very end of time VERSE: I wish to the lord I'd never been born A time when I was young I'd never seen those two blue eyes Or heard that flattering tongue Or heard that flattering tongue CHORUS (1): I truly understand that you love another one And your heart shall no longer be mine I truly understand that you love another one And your heart shall no longer be mine Your heart shall no longer be mine VERSE: Now I never listen to what another one says Whether his hair be black or brown I'd rather be standin' on the top of some hill With the rain a'pourin down, the rain a'pourin' down CHORUS (1) CHORUS 2: Where did things go wrong I was everything you needed for so long And your heart was mine Til the end, the very end of time VERSE: Now who's gonna shoe my pretty little feet Who's gonna glove my hand Who's gonna kiss my ruby red lips When I'm in a foreign land When I'm in a foreign land CHORUS (1) VERSE: Now Pa's gonna shoe my pretty little feet Ma's gonna glove my hand You're gonna kiss my ruby red lips When I'm in a foreign land When I'm in a foreign land CHORUS (1) CHORUS (2): As the days pass by I'm no closer to understanding why you said good-bye Sleepless nights torment me now I'll survive but I don't know how right now Where did things go wrong I was everything you needed for so long And your heart was mine Til the end, the very end of time

I went down to the Saint James Infirmary I saw my sweet baby there he was stretched out on a long white table so cold, so pale and fair Let him go let him go, God bless him wherever he may be he may wander this wide world over but never find another sweet one like me Now when I die please bury me in my high-top stetson hat just put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain so the boys'll know I died standin' pat I want six crap-shooters as my pallbearers and a chorus-girl to sing me a song put a jazz band on my hearse wagon to raise hell as we roll along Roll out your rubber-tired carriage roll out your old-time hat twelve men are going to the graveyard and eleven are coming back I went down to the Saint James Infirmary I saw my sweet baby there he was stretched out on a long white table so cold, so pale and fair

Vodka Song 06:05
When I felt the chill of your gaze I knew these days were at an end I'm sorry friend, but you know - you know how it goes and I know where to go, not far from here there is a place where people spend all day and waste their lives away When I crawled away from the noise I rose again to the depths of the night far from the tainted land vodka gave me strength the more I drank I sank so far below all the trash I know Vodka, oh Vodka, oh How I want you How I need you Vodka, oh Vodka, oh..... How I want you How I need you How I want you How I love you
