Toy Heart

Lyrics: Bill Monroe
Music: Bill Monroe

Played by the Good Old Boys in 1975, with Jerry Garcia sitting in on banjo at one show.

Chorus
Darling, you toyed with a toy heart
I think you played the game right from the start
This toy heart was broken
When parting words were spoken
Darling, you toyed with a toy heart

You played with my poor heart like a toy
This toy broke and then we had to part
It never can be mended
I hope this romance's ended
Darling, you toyed with a toy heart

[chorus]

Now darling, my time will come some day
Time alone will heal this broken heart
The clouds will roll away
The sun will shine someday
Darling, you toyed with a toy hear

[chorus]

Now darling, you know you've done me wrong
My love for will linger on
I'll find somebody new
I hope that they'll be true
Darling, you toyed with a toy heart

[chorus]
