When My First Wife Left Me

When my first wife left me she left my heart in misery

When my first wife left me she left my heart in misery

Ever since that day, boy, I don't think I ever love again

If I can get her back again I'll never wrong no more

If I get her back again, boys, I'll never wrong no more

I had a good wife but I did not treat her right

It's my fault; only have myself to blame

It's my fault, it's my fault, boys; I only have myself to blame

She would 'a been home right now, if I hadn't'vе wanted every woman that I seen

I found out thing: thеse women don't mean you no good

I found out thing, people: these women don't mean you no good

You mistreat a good girl for some woman, then she'll turn 'round and turn her back on you

Yes, yes!

I'm havin' bad luck--havin' bad luck ever since she been gone

I'm havin' bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, ever since my baby been gone

When she was at home, Lord, I did not treat her right
