Al Cook - HAVE YOU EVER LOVED A WOMAN

HAVE YOU EVER LOVED A WOMAN

Have you ever loved a woman,

And did most ev'rything you could.

And she got the nerve to send you,

Back to the piney woods.

I got a fine lookin' mama,

And she walks like a maltese cat.

She loves fine clothes and jewels,

And man, she ain't no alley rat.

Weil, I gave her all my money,

And all my lovin' too.


But early one mornin,

She sent me back to bogaloo.

Lord have mercy,

What have I done so wrong.

The harder I try to please her,

The harder we can get 'long.

Now bye, bye babe,

I'll walk the dirt road by myself.

If I can't get you back, sweet mama,

I want nobody else.
