Take my heart with you. Take my heart with you.
What good can it do me now?
Like a lump of coal
it just sits so heavy and cold
in my chest, back 'a my breast all day.

Gimme some a that, gimme some a that, gimme some a that lovin. I don't need a whole lot, won't you just break a little piece off it cause I ain't been long for this world, but I sure have known pain.

Take my heart with you. Take my heart with you.
What good can it do me now?
Like a lump a coal leapt out
'a the mine into my house.
All day long, all day long
that thing weeps.
