Written by jeremy spencer. It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down Cold black night and the rain was fallin' down I went out lookin' for my girl, I knew she wasn't nowhere around She left me early that morning, with a suitcase in her hand She left me early that morning, yes, with a suitcase in her hand
And she took off on a train this mornin' And she was meetin' some other man, yes She used to treat me real good and i wonder why i Didn't treat her right Yes, ah, you know i wonder why i didn't treat her right And now all i can do, is walk those streets both day and night
