Ma would never say what happenedAnd we knew better than push too hardWe knew we had all the chores to tend toLike fixing fences and helping herWashing dishes and making coffeeMe and Virgil'd chop some woodBut we'd stop our swingingJust to listen to her cryingIt didn't sound too goodI can remember, too wellBut we never thought to pay much heedWe learned to live life the best we couldBut then one day pa upped and left usHigh and dry without a wordSeemed a pityMy ma was prettyBut I soon learned life ain't that wayAnd I can remember hearing her weepingWhile we were sleeping next to herI can rememberI'll never forgive and I'll never forgetCos pa you broke her heartOoh pa you broke her heartYou broke her heartOoh pa you broke her heartWell the years rolled byAnd 'fore we knew itOur sister got married and moved out westI stayed with ma, cos I couldn't desert herI knew it would hurt her to be aloneSo we pulled tighterWe said we'd try to make things easyAnd raise a smileBut as the night cameWe'd hear her cryingPraying for pa to come back againI can rememberI'll never forgive him and I'll never forgetCos pa you broke her heartOh pa you broke her heartAnd then the winter cameI'd never known it colderOoh it seemed the worst for yearsAnd the night she died I swear I saw her smilingSaying I was a big boy now, no tearsSo I packed up all we had, and Virgil got the horsesAnd we paid our last respects and gave the whip a crackOoh, seemed a big bad world, we were riding intoMe and Virgil both agreed, we best head offAnd don't look backNothing but desert all aroundOh it made me wonderLord it's hard to carry onWhen you're sick with hungerWeeks and months of sleeping roughKeeping clear of dangerSeems we were miles from anywhereAnd too far gone to change itWe'd best keep going, don't look backWell me and Virgil we beat the desertRiding fast and riding hardWe hit the city, the past behind usSo we raised some hell, we had some funBut real soon I met a lady oh so pretty, and oh so fine'fore too long I found myself marriedWith a home of my own and a blue eyed sonAnd 'til this day I can hear ma saying to me -
