"A Woman Has Wrecked Many A Good Man" lyrics

"A Woman Has Wrecked Many A Good Man"

Now, I woke up last Sunday morn with blues all around my bed
A trifling woman caused it all, Lord, I had an aching head
My friends came around to give advice and then I had to stall
But my bottle was in sight and it didn't leave me none at all, you hear me, brother?
They didn't leave me none at all

I'll tell you, brother, and I won't lie, what's the matter in this land
There's too many women with trifling ways to mess up all of your plans
They'll say they love you with all their hearts, then cheat you if they can
A W-O-M-A-N, Lord, has wrecked a many good man, you hear me, brother?
Lord, they've wrecked a many good man

Now, mister bartender, don't be so slow 'cause I need another drink
And after all, this is my dough and you ain't getting paid to think
So wipe that frown from off your face and just try to understand
That a W-O-M-A-N, Lord, has wrecked a many good man, you hear me, brother?
Lord, they've wrecked a many good man

Now, as you ramble through this life, whatever may be your goal
You're bound to meet with grief and strife, the future can't be told
So if you've got a trifling gal, ditch her, brother while you can
'Cause a W-O-M-A-N, Lord, has wrecked a many good man, I'm glad I said it
Lord, they've wrecked a many good man
