She was a good girl from the family well respecting
Until he offered her the whole world in her hands
Then she went with him to do the things he wanted
She didn't know the morals of a man
It didn't take long until he changed her from a good girl
Since he forgot to buy a wedding band
Then he left her here in life for he had made her
She was learning fast the morals of a man
Now she don't even try to hold her head up
And they call her name she don't quite understand
Look out upon by those she thought who loved her
Too late she learned the morals of a man
[ guitar ]
Many long nights she holds her baby to her
And thinks quietly she has her whole world in her hand
For she has no one left except her baby
Yes she learned well the morals of a man yes she knows well the morals of a man
