Lord I got a woman, she nice lovin' in every way
Lord I got a woman, she nice lovin' in every way
Now she wants to leave me, have me worried everyday

Lord I hate to see you leave me darlin', well I hate to see you get away
Lord I hate to see you leave me darlin', well I hate to see you get away
No matter where you go, you gonna come back home someday

Well I love my baby, I can't stand to see her go
Lord I love my baby, well I can't stand to see her go
Well if you leave me darlin', I'll have to stand to see you go

So long, so long, I'll cry when you're gone
So long, I cry when you're gone
Lord everybody 'round here know, little girl I have treat you wrong
