Текст песни Been A Fool Too Long - Slim Dusty

Should have known in laughter she would leave me
My sweetest dream of heaven now is gone,
And from crazy paradise I've just awakened
To find out that I'd been a fool too long.
I met her amongst the music of the dance band,
Into my arms she sweetly came along,
And now this curse of mine will end in nothing
It's just to say I've been a fool too long.
Oh, there ain't no use in bein' a crying baby
Hey there ain't no use in tellin' me that I'm wrong,
Forget folk, get by, gee that's all I say now,
Forget that I have been a fool too long.
(Spoken) Yes fiddle now.
She kinda take my money and she'd spend it,
She kinda tell me off when things went wrong,

"For goodness sake don't be a fool too long."
Oh, there's lots 'n' lots of things that I could tell you,
Her name I shall not mention in this song,
'Cos she's not worthy of a single sentence,
Oh, but what's the use, I've been a fool too long.
Oh, there ain't no use in bein' a crying baby
Hey there ain't no use in tellin' me that I'm wrong,
Forget folk, get by, gee that's all I say now,
Forget that I have been a fool too long.
Hey, forget that I have been a fool too looong.
