Cat. #0662 (MFH #177) - As sung by Harrison Burnett, Fayetteville, Arkansas on July 29, 1968
VERSE 1
I use to be a lover
Th easy go'n kind
I've known many a pretty girls
And I left them all behind
I never tried to hold them
That's why I never stay
I just love them an' leave them
That's th easy way
CHORUS:
Th easy way is th system I use
Spread yourself around
And you'll never have th blues
Forget about tomorrow
When you greet a brand new day
Just love them an' leave them
That's th easy way (repeat last line of chorus a finish of song)
VERSE 2
I know all th places
Their fast and their fun
And th good times I have
Don't hurt anyone
When folks talk about me
One thing they have to say
Th lov'n I get
I get th easy way
VERSE 3
If you want some good advice
From th man who knows
To keep from gettt'n trapped
You must stay on your toes
So leave your hon at home
When you go out to play
J ust love them and leave them
That's th easy way
Just love them an' leave them
That's th easy way
