Woman Across The River

Across the river a good woman cried

All because a foolish man has lied

She gave up all she had to show how much she cared

But he told so many lies

Now another man is over there

That woman across the river

That woman across the river was mine

Once upon a time she was mine

Until the word got around that I had jilted her

And the men they came running

They came running from near and far

How could I been such a fool

Never never never know

But the man

He's got to know

He's a lucky so and so

That woman across the river

That woman across the river was mine

What a shame

But who can I blame

I met her the other day about a week ago

She said, "I don't even want to talk to you"

'Cause I don't love you anymore

That woman across the river

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river

She used to be mine

She used to be all mine

If I could just get back and now

I will be a different man

I didn't realise what I lost

Until it was too late

I tell you it's too late

Please give me one more chance

Would you love me

Please love me, come on, if I can

Sweet woman across the river
