The Heel-June Carter Cash

The man who has me for his own is on the town and I'm alone In his new suit and his blue tie He slammed that door without goodbye Tonight my eyes are jealous green Tonight I'm feeling mighty mean He meets in secret rendezvous Some gal to tell his troubles to That dirty low down heel He'll promise her most anything a sable coat a diamond ring And she'll find out when it's too late and all she'll get will be the gate But while the dawn's a distant thing in his embrace her heart will sing Her dizzy head will spin with lies And all too soon a woman cries That dirty low down heel The neon lights that flash below ignite my room with devil glow And in the gloom I hear a laugh that's coming from his photograph I ring my hands and walk the floor and swear to even up the score For where a kitten cries tonight a panther waits to claw and bite That dirty low down heel I dare not play my radio one more complaint and out I go I'm sick of playing solitaire the ace of spades is everywhere There'll be no sleep for me tonight the sheep I count are never white They all turn out to be jet black and whose the leader of the pack The heel At dawn I know heʼll stagger in demanding coffee black as sin and As I pour it from the tin ill slip a little powder in He'll ring his hands and start to cry and cross his heart and hope to die and mumble I know how you feel but I've been on a business deal The heel But as the pot begins to perk I know my plan will never work and as he starts to drink it up I'll take his hand and break the cup It's only jealousy I know that's brought my thinking down so low Why must I just sit here and grieve Why don't I just pack up and leave That dirty low down heel But now hes really on the stairs I try to act like I don't care For in my hearts arithmetic I find it takes two heels to click We're in our world of love and hate where it will end is up to fate And I'll let him have his little fling and be the chewing gum that clings To that dirty low down heel That low down lovable heel
