And early with the rising sun
I get to thinking about my sweet woman,
and all the good she done.
Then my heart beats just like a hammer,
and my eyes get full of tears.
She's only been gone about 24 hours,
but it seems like a thousand years.
I should have loved her more,
I know I didn't treat her right.
I should have loved her more,
I know I didn't treat her right.
A wo man like that needs loving
Now the blues are piling up on me
But I brought it all on myself
When I should have been loving my woman

cause you got to reap what you sow, and don't
Don't ever dog your woman when you
know you're doin' wrong yourself.
Don't ever dog your woman when
you know you're doin' wrong yourself.
She'll get the devil in her mind and
go wild about somebody else.
Now the river runs into the ocean, an d the ocean flows into the sea,
but if I don't find my sweet woman, somebody will have to bury me.
better than I love myself
I love that woman better than I love myself
And it's breaking my heart to
know she's with somebody else
