When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery
  When my first wife left me, she left my heart in misery
  Ever since that day boy, I don't think I'll ever love again
  
  If I can get her back again, I'll never roam no more
  If I get her back again, boys, I never roam no more
  I had a good wife, but I did not treat her right
  
  It's my fault, only have myself to blame
  It's my fault, it's my fault boys, I only have myself to blame
  She would have been home right now, if I hadn't wanted every woman that I seen
  
  I found out one thing, these women don't mean you no good
  I found out one thing people, these women don't mean you no good
  You mistreated a good girl for some woman, that she'd turn around and turn her back on you
  Yes, yeah
  
  I'm having bad luck, having bad luck ever since she been gone
  I'm having bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, ever since my baby been gone
  When she was at home, Lord, I did not treat her right
