Cold Cheater’s Heart
Recorded by Del McCoury
Written by Mike Reilly

C                    E7         F         C
It’s an old familiar story of a boy and a girl
                     D7             G7
And a love that went wrong from the start
    C              E7           F                 C
How Bobby he loved Mary and she thought she loved him
                        G7             C
But she found she had a cold cheater’s heart

         G7                         C
And that life out on the farm ain’t what she had in mind
         F           D7        G7
When she promised to honor and obey
       C                E7    F        C
So she took to runnin’ ’round all over town
                   G7                  C
Ain’t it funny how life turns out that way

                       E7       F                   C
The years have tumbled by Bobby turned an ol’ blind eye
                 D7                 G7
To the things he hoped just weren’t true
         C                 E7       F           C
And then came that fateful day when he had been away
                    G7            C
Oh they say he came home just too soon

   G7                               C
He found them lying there oh it was more than he could bear
           F       D7             G7
He found a gun she cried don’t be rash
        C                E7     F                     C
But two shots filled the air he stood right there and stared
                         G7        C
The deed was done it was over in a flash

                               E7             F                    C
That old judge looked down and sighed he said Bobby you’ll have to die
                        D7            G7
The law is clear and it must take its toll
      C                  E7        F                C
Think on the deed you’ve done your race on earth is run
                 G7            C
And may God have mercy on your soul

     G7                      C
On a cold November morn in a prison so forlorn
           F         D7             G7
The warden prayed as did the parson too
        C              E7         F                  C
And the crowd gathered there they heard him loud and clear
                     G7          C
His final words were Mary I love you
