I had a fine looking woman
Lived way 'cross this man's town
I had a fine looking woman
I lived on the other side of town
Every time I was with her
She didn't want no one else around

She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once a man
She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once a man
I bought her anything she wanted
And laid it right down in her hand

You know I still love her
I'd do anything she tell me to
You know I still love her truly
I'd do anything she tell me to
I can't stop thinking about her
And all the sweet things we used to do

I cried oh Lord have mercy
What wrong have I done?
I cried oh Lord have mercy
What wrong have I done?
The only girl I've ever loved
I lost her to some other one
