Blood on the Saddle - Poison Love Lyrics

I loved a ramblin' son, he had not much to offer
'Cept to sing his songs and fill my life with laughter
My life shall be happy, my life shall be gay
Way out on a mountainside we'll laugh and sing all day

Poison love from a magic cup
Trouble follows when you drink up

My visions of love have all faded away
I woke up this morning to a dark lonely day
He promised to love me, he called me his flower
Swore he'd stand by me through life's weary hour

Poison love from a magic cup
Trouble follows when you drink up

His sweet little love songs melted my heart
Jealousy is in the air and now we've grown apart
A pickin' and a fightin,' this love has lost it's spark
I should have seen trouble coming from the very start
Took a drink of potion didn't know what I was doing
Love's spell is wearing off and now it's leading to our ruin
Love can be a poison running through your veins
First it acts like magic, then it brings you pain

Poison love from a magic cup
Trouble follows when you drink up

Love is like poison from a magic cup
Trouble follows when you drink up
When you drink up
When you drink up
