My Woman
Last night as I lay me down in bed
Over and over I heard the last words my woman said
Take me with you, I'm so lonesome
But I choose to leave instead
Yesterday, she came to me and held my hand
Said she was blue and oh so lonesome
And would I try to understand
I didn't know till this morning
How much my woman means to me
This morning when I got home, she was not there
I noticed her clothes were gone
And a little note lay on my shelf
Said as you read this, I love you still
But I'll be gone, I don't know where
Today I got the blues and I got 'em bad
Last night as I lay sleeping
My conscious will not go to rest
Yesterday I lost the best woman I ever had
One of these days, can't say where and I don't know when
It may be in time, it may be soon
It may be in a place I've never been
But I'm gonna find that fine woman
And together with her again
