THE MARRIED MAN

There's an old pard of mine that sits by his door

And watches the evenin' skies.

He's sat there a thousand of evenin's before

And I reckon he will till he dies.

El pobre! I reckon he will till he dies,

And hear through the dim, quiet air

Far cattle that call and the crickets that cheep

And his woman a-singin' a kid to sleep
