Woman Across The River - Freddie King

Across the river a good woman cried

All because a foolish man lied

She gave up everything

Trying to keep him satisfied

But the man told so many lies

There’s another man over there

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river, she was mine

Word got around that he had jilted her

Men came running from near and far

How could I be so foolish

Guess I’ll never never know

But the man that’s got her now

He’s a lucky so and so

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river, she was mine

Oh I remember the other day, about a week ago

She said I don’t even talk to you

Cause I don’t love you anymore

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river, she was mine

Across the river a good woman cried

All because a foolish man lied

She gave up everything, tried to keep him satisfied

But the man told so many lies

There’s another man over there

That woman across the river

Oh that woman across the river

That woman across the river

Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
