Tex Ritter – You Will Have To Pay Lyrics

You will have to pay
All your yesterdays
You’ll be living all alone

An the vows you broke
Unkind words you spoke
You’ll recall them when I’m gone

I was good to you
And you know it’s true
I tried to please every way

You walked on my heart
Broke it all apart
But some day you’ll have to pay

You will have to pay
All your yesterdays
It will all come home to you

You’ll pay for your sin
Time and time again
I won’t even pity you

You can never be
Quite the same to me
And I’m so glad I can say

I don’t worry now
My hearts free some how
But some day you’ll have to pay
