| So long we’ve been married, life’s burdens we carried |
| Though they kept us humble and made our love true |
| The plans that we make up, someone seems to break up |
| Oh darlin' what else can we do? |
| We may have to leave here to find peace of mind dear |
| Some place where we can live the life on our own |
| I know you love me and happy we could be |
| If some folks would leave us alone |
| While I go out walkin', there’s lots of loose talkin' |
| They say we’re unhappy and we’ll break apart |
| But darlin' it’s not true because I still love you |
| And I do with all of my heart |
| We may have to leave here to find peace of mind dear |
| Some place where we can live the life on our own |
| I know you love me and happy we could be |
| If some folks would leave us alone |
| They say that you’re leavin', that you are deceivin' |
| But you tell me they say the same about me |
| But we’ll show them they’re wrong, that loose talk will do harm |
| And hope that the truth they will see |
| We may have to leave here to find peace of mind dear |
| Some place where we can live the life on our own |
| For I know you love me and happy we could be |
| If some folks would leave us alone, if some folks will leave us alone |
