Woman Across the River

Across the river

A good woman cried

All because

A foolish man had lied

She give up all she had

To show how much she cared

But the man told so many lies

Now another man is over there

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river

She was mine

Word got around

That he had jilted her

And men came running

Came running from near and far

How I been such a fool

Never never never know

but the man

He's got to know

He's a lucky so and so,

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river

She was mine

Met her one day

About a week ago

She said "I don't even want to talk to you

Cause, I don't love you any more"

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river

She was mine
