Lyrics for Back O' Town Blues

I had a woman Livin' way back o' town Yeah she treated me right Never let me down But I wasn't satisfied I had to run around Now she's gone and left me I'm worried as can be Oh I've searched this world all over Wonderin' where she could be I would ask that she forgive me And maybe she'll come back to me **spoken**(but I doubt it) I'm lonesome an blue And I've learned a thing or two Oh fellas here's a tip I'm gonna pass on down to you Never mistreat your woman Cause it's gonna bounce right back on you
