I Had A Woman But She Left Me

I had a woman but she left me
She brought me down to my knees
I had a woman but she left me, left me
She brought me down to my knees
I and stood at praying
Praying the Lord to bring her back home to me
I said Lord please have mercy
Mercy on this poor man is heart
I said Lord please have mercy
Mercy on this poor man is heart
I would gladly give you my soul
But please, dont tear us apart
Five long year I have waited
And was finally getting on my feet again
One day I saw my baby messing around with another man
Five long year I have waited
Five long year I have waited
Now was finally getting on my feet again
Then one day I saw my babe messing around
Messing around with another man
If it was the Lord that kept me waiting
It must have been the devil shooting the gun
If it was the Lord that kept me waiting
It must have been the devil shooting the gun
Now both of our lives, yeah, and I am sure where my soul will burn
Yes I am sure where my soul will burn
I had a woman but she left me
