Written by Hank Williams, Sr. Everybody says you let me down That I should be ashamed to take you 'round Makes no difference what you used to do Darling, I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you were reckless yesterday But together, we can find a brighter way In my heart, I know that you'll come through Darling, I could never be ashamed of you All the happiness I've ever known Came the day you said you'd be my own And it matters not what we go through Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you Maybe you've been cheated in the past And perhaps those memories will always last Even though you proved to be untrue Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you
