| Across the river a good woman cried
|
| All because a foolish man lied
|
| She gave up everything
|
| Trying to keep him satisfied
|
| But the man told so many lies
|
| There’s another man over there
|
| That woman across the river
|
| Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
|
| Word got around that he had jilted her
|
| Men came running from near and far
|
| How could I be so foolish
|
| Guess I’ll never never know
|
| But the man that’s got her now
|
| He’s a lucky so and so
|
| That woman across the river
|
| Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
|
| Oh I remember the other day, about a week ago
|
| She said I don’t even talk to you
|
| Cause I don’t love you anymore
|
| That woman across the river
|
| Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
|
| Across the river a good woman cried
|
| All because a foolish man lied
|
| She gave up everything, tried to keep him satisfied
|
| But the man told so many lies
|
| There’s another man over there
|
| That woman across the river
|
| Oh that woman across the river
|
| That woman across the river
|
| Sweet woman across the river, she was mine |
