I Could Never Be Ashamed of You (false start & un‐overdubbed complete take) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Everybody says you let me down
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 true
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
Darling, 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 prove to be untrue
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you
