Stone must be the wall built around your heart I still love you,
darling, but the time has come to part
No more sorrow,
no more pain can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world,
let the past stay behind
I once had a darlin' sweetheart and I loved her so I loved
her more than I could ever make my poor heart show
Then she went away and left me,
she found somebody else
Left me here in this old world
to cry all to myself
Stone must be the wall
built around your heart
I still love you darling,
but the time has come to part
No more sorrow,
no more pain can enter this heart of mine
Love isn't found in this old world,
let the past stay behind
I know somewhere in this old world,
there is a girl for me
A girl who loves her work and fame,
for love and sympathy
I don't know where she lives,
maybe across the sea
But the walls of
Jericho can't keep her away from me
Stone must be the wall built around your heart I still love you darlin',
but the time has come to part
No more sorrow,
no more pain can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world,
let the past stay behind
