FOR LOVING ME
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR LOVING ME, THAT'S WHAT YOU
GET FOR LOVING ME, NOW EVERYTHING YOU HAD IS GONE AS YOU CAN SEE,
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR LOVING ME. I AIN'T THE KIND TO HANG AROUND
WITH ANY NEW LOVE THAT I'VE FOUND, 'CAUSE MOVIN' IS MY STOCK AND
TRADE, I'M MOVIN' ON, I WON'T THINK OF YOU WHEN I'M GONE. SO
DON'T YOU SHED A TEAR FOR ME, I AIN'T THE LOVE YOU THOUGHT I'D BE.
I GOT A HUNDRED MORE LIKE YOU SO DON'T BE BLUE, I'LL HAVE A THOUSAND
'FORE I'M THROUGH. NOW THERE YOU GO, YOU'RE CRYIN' AGAIN, NOW THERE
YOU GO, YOU'RE CRYIN' AGAIN. AND THEN SOME DAY WHEN YOUR POOR HEART
IS ON THE MEND, I JUST MIGHT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN. THAT'S WHAT YOU
GET FOR LOVIN' ME, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR LOVIN' ME, NOW EVERYTHING
YOU HAD IS GONE AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR LOVIN' ME.

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE TERM "GOT A
PISTOL JUST AS LONG AS MY ARM (OR LEG)" IS USED IN FOLK SONG.
ALSO, THE RHYME OF LIFE AND WIFE IS USED A LOT.
