Across the river a good woman cried
All because a foolish man lied
She gave up everything
Trying to keep him satisfied
But the man told so many lies
There's another man 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
How could I be so foolish
Guess I'll never never know
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

Oh I remember the other day, about a week ago
She said I don't even 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 man over there
That woman across the river
Oh that woman across the river
That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
