Lyrics for Lost A Good Girl

I lost a good woman just about to break my heart I lost a good woman just about to break my heart It is all my fault I didn't do the things I should She begged, she begged me "Johnny, Johnny stay home with me" She begged me, begged me "Johnny, stay home with me" I wasn't payin' no mind Runnin' around night and day Well, got to She'd try to talk to me, I grab my hat and run She'll try to talk to me, I grab my hat and run Well, she couldn't tell me nothin' Sat down and talked to me Now, not long that girl hurtin' me to my heart I done lost a good woman, and hurtin' me to my heart Now she mistreats me, I can't take it no more
