A tavern girl was what you were the day I found you
But still I gave you all my love and built my world around you
I dressed you up in fancy clothes for the world to see
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Yes I bought the shoes that just walked out my door
And the ring on her hand it waved goodbye forever more
And I bought the lipstick on her lips to beg please set me free
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Friends that knew you tried to tell me to leave her alone
But simpleminded overanxious me kept keepin' on
And then at last my love for you became a worst enemy
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Yes I bought the shoes that just walked out my door...
Yes I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
