Ollie McGee Lyrics

Have you seen,
walking through the village,
a man with downcast eyes
and haggard face?
That is my husband dear.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e46837-richard_buckner~ollie_mcgee_lyrics.html ]
My secret cruelty,
never to be told,
robbed me of my youth
and my beauty,
'til at last,
wrinkled and with yellow teeth,
and with broken pride
and shameful humility,
I sank into the grave.

But what
think you
knows that my husband's heart,
the face of what I was,
the face of what
he made me?
These are driving him
to the place where I lie.
In death, therefore,
I am avenged.
