Webb Pierce - I Haven't Got The Heart

Webb Pierce (1955)
Webb Pierce sings "I Haven't Got The Heart". Songwriter was Pierce himself. The song reached #5 on Billboards Top Country Singles.
Lyric:
f I was free from you my darling
I would start my life a new
We've been tied down, oh so long dear
I no longer can be true
Now I know that I should tell you
It would be the thing to do
But I haven't got the heart to say
I'm not in love with you
Just suppose that I should leave you
Take another for my own
Just suppose that I forsake you
Break my vows and leave you alone
Well, I'm ashamed down deep inside
That I have ever been untrue
But I haven't got the heart to say
I'm not in love with you

Lucky me, I walked into the Louisiana Hayride and Webb Pierce was on the stage singing Silver Bells (something or other) I haven't heard that song since, but at 80 I still listen to him several times a week. He and Hank are still the best. We could frequently smell the foul winds that came from the paper mill in his home town, West Monroe, what a random chance that the small town in Louisiana would produce a guy like him. He did good, who wouldn"t love to have had that voice.

Edger, Sounds like you were at the Hayride about when I was, the '50's. Was in that area from late 1949
To late 1952. Stationed at Barksdale AFB. Went to the Hayride often. Even married a Shreveport girl in '51.
