Woman Across The River

Little Milton

Compositor: Henry Jim Jr.

Across the river a good woman cried
All because a foolish man lied
She gave up everything
Everything that money could buy

But the man told so many lies
There's another 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
Should've never been so foolish
Guess i'll never

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

I remember 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
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 over there

That woman across the river
That woman across the river
That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river
She was mine
