Bill Monroe
Poison Love
For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleading has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

Into each life a love is born for one
And one alone dear
The love I chose was surely not for me
For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know our love was never meant to be

For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleading has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

But still my heart cries out for you
And you alone my darling
It makes me never ever let you go
But my pleading has all been in vain
For your and you alone dear
And my better judgement tells me to say no

For your poison love has stained the life blood
In my heart and soul dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleading has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same
