Folksongs are fun to hear because they're fun to sing.

And nobody sings a folksong with more pure enjoyment than the riders of the Purple Sage.

Listen to them singing, I Couldn't Believe It Was True.

Last night I came home and I knocked on the door.

I called to my love as I oft had before.

I knocked and I knocked, but no answer there came.

No kisses to greet me, no voice call my name.

I

couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord, I couldn't believe it was true.

My eyes filled with tears, I must have aged in years.

I couldn't believe it

was true.

I let myself in and I walked to our bed.

I found a note there and a message I read The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn My sweetheart had left me, my darling had gone I couldn't believe it was true, oh Lord I couldn't

believe it was true

My eyes filled with tears, I must have aged in years I

couldn't

believe it was true Thank you.

The shock was so great I am shivering yet I tried to forgive but I cannot forget My heartbreak and loss is another man's gain Her happiness always I hope will remain

I couldn't believe it was true.

Oh, Lord, I couldn't believe it was true.

My eyes filled with tears.

I must have aged ten years.

I couldn't

believe it was true.
