I’m Doing This for Your Sake

Someone else's arms will hold you
My darling baby girl
I'll never get to see the child
I've brought into this world
Because I made one mistake
Folks say that I'm bad
But they just don't understand the
Way I loved your dad

Now I thought your daddy loved me
I was so sure he did
And so I gave him all my love
And he said we would wed
But I guess he must changed his mind
Because he left town one day
When he found out about you
He just stopped and ran away

In this home so far away from home
I leave my heart today
Because home where the heart is
And with you my heart will stay
Because I love you so much, why
I can't make you pay
So I'm doing this for your sake
I'm giving you away
