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
