Lyrics
Oh, it's been a long, long time
Since I've seen her smiling face
A long, long time
Since I've seen her smiling face
I'm down here in lonesome prison
Someone else done took my place
Oh, she cried and begged me
Saying, "Stay home with me tonight"
Oh, she cried like a baby
Saying, "Stay home with me tonight"
Said, "You wanna go out and have a good time
Darling, you know that isn't right"
I started drinking early Friday evening
'Til Saturday morning broad daylight
Started drinking early Friday evening
Until Saturday morning broad daylight
You know anybody with any kind of sense knows
I wasn't doing my woman right
They called down the patrol wagon
Put me in Port Alley jail
Oh, the patrol wagon got me
Put me in Port Alley jail
I didn't have nobody
To come and go my bail
She said, "Goodbye, goodbye, baby, ha
Child, I hate to see you go"
She said, "Goodbye, I love you so
I hate like hell to see you go"
I say, "The way I've been treating you, baby
Child, you shouldn't want me back here no more"
Thank you all very much
We love you, man
