I Couldn't Believe It Was True - Roy Acuff

Well, last night I came home an' I knocked on my door

An' I called to my love as I oft had before

An' I knocked an' I knocked: no answer thee came

No kisses to greet me or voice call my name

An' I couldn’t believe it was true, oh Lord

Couldn’t believe it was true

An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must’ve aged in years

An' I couldn’t believe it was true

Well, the shock was so great, I am quiverin' yet

An' I’ll try to forgive but I cannot forget

My heart breakin' loss is another man’s gain

Her happiness, always, I hope will remain

An' I couldn’t believe it was true, oh Lord

Couldn’t believe it was true

An' my eyes filled with tears an' I must’ve aged in years

An' I couldn’t believe it was true
