Sophronie - David Grisman, Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs

Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em

That used to be my motto so high

Till my Sophronie left me so lonely

Now there’s teardrops in my eyes

My Sophronie’s from Kentucky, she’s found another man

Can’t even kiss her, can’t even hold her hand

Oh when we used to love beneath the stars up in the sky

But now I’m just a hotshot with a teardrop in my eye

Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em

That used to be my motto so high

Till my Sophronie left me so lonely

Now there’s teardrops in my eyes

Till Gabriel blows his bugle, I’ll be lovin that sweet girl

She means more to me than the whole wide world

I used to be a killer with the women me oh, my

But now I’m just a hot shot with a teadrop in my eye

Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em

That used to be my motto so high

Till my Sophronie left me so lonely

Now there’s teardrops in my eyes

I used to slay the pretty girls from Maine to Alabam

Until I met Sophronie and then she let me down

I seen so many pretty eyes and filled with bitter tears

Find em, forget em, but now I have my fears

Love em and leave em, kiss em and grieve em

That used to be my motto so high

Till my Sophronie left me so lonely

Now there’s teardrops in my eyes
