When my first wife quit me
Lord, she put me out on the road
When my first wife quit me
Lord, she put me out on the road
Ever since that day
I've been goin' from door to door
I had a good girl
Just as good as she could be
I had a good girl
Just as good as she could be
Lord, I left my wife and my baby
I ain't been the same no more
I wanna go back home
To my wife and my child
I wanna go back home so bad
To my wife and my child
I know I did wrong
Please take me back again
Oh, Eddy, Eddy, I hear ya, Eddy
I wanna go home
To my wife and my baby
I got no money, Eddy
I'm travellin'
I had a good girl
She was good as she could be
I had a good girl, good girl
She was good as she could be
I left my wife and my baby
For a no-good runaround
