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
Songwriters J.L. HOOKER
