She Once Was Mine

(альбом: Chuck Berry In London - 1965)

I had a fine looking woman,
Who lived way 'cross this man's town
I had a fine looking woman,
And I lived on the other side of town
Every time I was with her
She didn't want no-one else around

She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once her man
She was once my little girlfriend
And I was truly once her man
I bought her anything she wanted
And laid it right down in her hand

You know I still love her,
I'll do anything she told me to
You know I still love her truly,
Do anything she'll tell me to
I can't stop thinking about her
And all the sweet things we used to do

I cried "oh Lord have mercy,
What wrong have I done?"
I cried "oh Lord have mercy,
What wrong have I done?"
The only girl I ever loved
I lost her to some other one
