When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery
When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery
Ever since that day, boy, I don't think I'll ever love again
If I can get her back again, I'll never roam no more
If I get her back again, boys, I'll never roam no more
I had a good wife, but I did not treat her right
It's my fault--only have myself to blame
It's my fault, it's my fault, boys--I only have myself to blame
She would have been home right now if I hadn't wanted every woman that I seen
I found out one thing: these women don't mean you no good
I found out one thing, people: these women don't mean you no good
You mistreated a good girl for some woman--that she'd turn around and turn her back on you
Yes, yeah
