Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife I took her life and the quicklin' of the knife
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?

I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?

The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God, what have you done, they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?

Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?..
