Lost the fight with a woman so fast
Seems like I'm standing on driftin' sand
Lost the fight with my woman so fast
Seems like I'm in driftin' sand
And all the time I thought she love me
Now she is gone with another man
Left me early in the morning
Down by the railroad track
Left me early in the morning
Down by the railroad track
The life is what she tought me
But you better hold your bright life away from that
So mama, please, please try to understand
Baby, please, please try to understand
You know I'm living with a broken heart
Now I'm singing in driftin' sand
Baby, please, keep on trying to understand
I need you to be my woman
I wanna be your man
The way you left me here, baby
Seems like I'm standing in driftin' sand
I lost the fight with my woman so fast
Seems like I'm standing on driftin' sand
Lost the fight with my woman so fast
Seems like I'm on driftin' sand
And all the time I thought she love me
But now she is fooling another man
