But it seems like a thousand years

Don't ever dog your woman
You know you're gonna ruin yourself

Take my hand, baby, now, you hold it tight and don't let go
Take my hand, now, hold it tight and don't let go

She makes me brush her in the morning
And put her to bed every night

Long grey mare, why can't we be just like before
Long grey mare, why can't we be just like before
We used to ride so hard
Until we just couldn't ride no more

Break:

Look at me grey mare, don't I feed you everyday
Look at me grey mare, don't I feed you everyday
But when I dig you with my spud
You turn around the other way

If today was Christmas day
And tomorrow was Christmas Eve

I loved another woman - I lost my best gal

She was a real good woman - she didn't me no harm

But I loved another woman - now she's up and she's gone

Break:

Well, come back baby - I know I treated you wrong

I loved another woman - now, I won't do that no more

It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down
Cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
I went out lookin' for my girl, I knew she wasn't nowhere around

She left me early that morning, with a suitcase in her hand
She left me early that morning, yes, with a suitcase in her hand
And she took off on a train this mornin' and she was meetin' some other man, yes

She used to treat me real good and I wonder why I didn't treat her right
Yes, ah, you know I wonder why I didn't treat her right
And now all I can do, is walk those streets both day and night

Don't look for no worries, worries and troubles come around
Yes, I don't look for no worries, people, worries and troubles come around
The world keep on turning, I got to keep my feet on the ground

Nobody saw me cryin' - nobody knows the way I feel
Nobody saw me cryin' - nobody knows the way I feel
Yeah, the way I love the woman, it's bound to get me killed

I loved the little girl so good, she made my low down butter come
Loved the little girl so good, she made my low down butter come
I need the woman so bad, I need her like the sky needs the sun
