Across the river a good woman cried |
|
All because a foolish man had lied |
|
She gave 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 could I be such a fool, I'll never, never, never know |
|
That the man, he's got to know, he's a lucky so and so |
|
That woman across the river |
|
I 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 |
