(George) If I'd only had one arm to hold her Better yet, if I'd had none at all Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache for you And there'd be one less mem'ry to recall If I'd only had one ear to listen Oh, to the lies that she told to me Then I would more closely resemble The half a man that she made of me (Willie) And if I had been born with but one eye Then I'd only have one eye that cries And if half of my heart turned to ashes Maybe half of my heartaches would die
