I'll get the blues 'round about midnight 

Early with the risin' sun 

I'll get to thinkin' bout my sweet woman 

And all the good she done 

And my heart gets like a hammer 

And my eyes get full a-tears 

She only been gone about twenty-four hours 

But it seem like a thousand years 

Boys, I should have loved her more 

But you know I didn't treat her right 

Yes, I should-a loved her more 

But you know I didn't treat her right 

You take a woman like that 

Need lovin' ev'ryday an night 

Now the blues get-a pilin' up on me 

But I brought it all on myself 

When I should-a been lovin' my woman 

I was out with somebody else 

Now, here's a mighty hard pill to swallow 

But I want all you men to know 

You better mind what you are sowin' 

Because you've got to reap what you sew 

Boys, don't never dog your woman 

When you know you're doin' wrong, yourself 

Yes, don't never dog your woman 

When you know you're doin' wrong, yourself 

It'll put the devil in her mind 

She will go wild about somebody else 

Now, the river runs into the ocean 

And the ocean po's into the sea 

But if I don't find my sweet woman 

Somebody got to bury me 

Because I love that woman 

Better than I do, myself, hoo 

Yes, I love that woman 

Better than I do myself, ooo 

And it really breaks my heart 

But I know she with somebody else.
