Dolly Parton — I’m Doing This for Your Sake

Someone else's arms will hold you, my darling baby girl I'll never get to see the child I've brought into this world Because I made one mistake, folks say that I'm bad But they just don't understand the way I loved your dad Now I thought your daddy loved me, I was so sure he did And so I gave him all my love, and he said we would wed But I guess he must changed his mind, because she left town one day When he found out about you, he just stopped and ran away In this home so far away from home, I leave my heart today Because home where the heart is, and with you my heart will stay Because I love you so much, why, I can't make you pay So I'm doing this for your sake I'm giving you away
