I Lost A Good Girl - Original

I lost a good woman just about to break my heart
I lost a good woman just about to break my heart
It is all my fault
I didn’t do the things I should
She begged, she begged me «Johnny, Johnny stay home with me»
She begged, and begged me «Johnny, stay home with me»
I wasn’t paying no mind
Running around night and day
Well, got to…
She’d try to talk to me.
I grab my hat and run
She’ll try to talk to me.
I grab my hat and run
Well, she couldn’t tell me nothin'
Sat down and talked to me
Now, not long that girl hurtin' me to my heart
I done lost a good woman, and hurtin' me to my heart
Now she mistreats me, I can’t take it no more
