When My First Wife Left Me lyrics

When my first wife left me
She put me out on the road
When my first wife left me
She put me out on, on the road
Ever since that day, boy
My life ain't been the same

I've been drinking and gambling
Ever since that girl been gone
I've been drinking up and gambling
Ever since that little girl had gone, got gone
I've been drinking, drinking
Drinking my life away

I left my wife and my baby, boy
She was only four days old
I left my wife and my baby

I hope she'd learn to call another man 'Dad'
Lord, and that's what worrying me

Get funky, I feel it
I feel a tear drop, tear drop
Tear drop in my eye
Look at the tear, look at the tear
In my eyes, in my eyes

Get my wife back again, boys
I ain't gonna drink and gamble no more
Get my wife back again
I ain't gonna drink and gamble no more, I'm wasted
I'm go' stay at home, stay at home
And live, and live like a married man should

When my first wife left me
She put me out on the road
When my first wife left me
