FAITHLESS WIFE. Copyright, 1896, by A. Scull & Co. Words and Music by Will F. McNulty. 
Beneath a tree In the old church yard I saw a man kneel in prayer; I paused to see if his face I knew, And wondered what brought him there. His eyes were bleared and tearful, He rose to turn away; Again he kneeled o'er a new-made grave, And thus I heard him pray: "Our Father who art in Heav'n above, Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done." He 'rose and went away. 'Twas then his face I saw, And his story well I knew, Of a man whose heart was broken By a wife who was untrue; She robbed him of his love and home, Cursed and wrecked his life. He returns to-day to kneel and pray O'er the grave of a faithless wife. 
"I'm only a poor old tramp," he sighed, As he wiped away a tear; "I've come to pray o'er a lonely grave, My sweetheart sleepeth here. Yes. once she was my sweetheart, But that was long ago, Before love's vows were broken, sir, And I a tramp was known," Our Father who art in Heav'n above, etc.
