A married woman, best woman ever been born
I say a married woman, best woman ever been born
Only trouble you have is tryin' to keep her at home
Only trouble you have, tryin' to keep her at home
My woman left me this mornin', but I blame myself
My woman left me this mornin', but I blame myself
That back-bitin' man taken my woman, now he's goin' to the West
I say, he taken my woman, now he's gone to the West
I can't sleep at night when I lay down to take my rest
I can't sleep at night when I lay down to take my rest
Says, the woman I love, Lord, she is not for no mess
Boy, the woman I love is not for no mess
