Oklahoma Stray

Baby, once in Oklahoma
 I took in a stray cat
 I came home from work one day
 And there she sat
 But someone long before me
 Had injured her so much
 Though I fed her for a year
 Never did we touch
 Oh, some hearts truly
 Baby, some hearts truly
 Truly break
 Well, I swear nobody chooses
 To live a life alone
 But I guess trust all drains away
 In hearts cut to the bone
 And God forbid I lose you
 'Cause, baby, come that day
 I swear I will be just another
 Oklahoma Stray
 Oh, some hearts truly
 Baby, some hearts truly
 Truly break
 Nothing is more gentle
 Nothing is more fragile
 Nothing more courageous
 Nothing more in danger
 Than an open heart
 Baby, once in Oklahoma
 I took in a stray
 But then one night I found her on
 The roadside where she lay
 And then at last I held her
 And then I dug a grave
 And cried for her and cried for every
 Heart love could not save
 Oh, love, love truly
 Baby, some hearts truly
 Baby, some hearts truly
 Truly break
