Texas Songster, Vol. 4 (Arhoolie 1033)
Ain't you sorry to your heart?
Best o'friend, you know, they got to part
Ain't you sorry, sorry that you did me wrong?
Now, me and my girl had a fallin' out
Bet you don't know what was about
She's sorry, sorry that you did me wrong
Now, go on girl, you needn't flirt
I know you done tore you underskirt
Ain't you sorry, sorry to your heart?
Well, I'm going up North, 'tain't goin' to stay
Got a girl, chances gonna pay my way
Ain't you sorry, sorry to your heart?
Ain't you sorry, sorry to your heart?
But the best o'friend, you know, got to part
Ain't you sorry, sorry you did me wrong?

Note 1: this line is figurative, "To tear one's drawers", a fashionable black expression of the twenties, is to make a spectacle of oneself.
