Question
I am looking for the name of a song which has the following lyrics:  "I was fooling when I said I'd always love you.  I was fooling when I said I'd be true."  I remember this song being on the radio in the mid-eighties, but don't remember when it may have come out.  I thought it might have been Marty Robbins, but have not found the lyrics on any search engine I have tried.  Thanks!!  Donna   Please respond to my email address above.

Answer
I believe I got it. Check this out.

I was foolin
When I said I'd always love you
Just foolin
When I said that I'd be true

Now you're gone
There's an achin that I can't seem to lose
And I wonder
Was I ever foolin you

And now that I realize
I can't have you
It's finally dawned on me
Just who the fool could be


Song is "Foolin" by Johnny Rodriguez

Expertise

I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)

Experience

I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.
