Db7
Across the river a good woman cried
Dbm7        Gb7
All because a foolish man lied

Db7
She give up all she had
Gb7                       Ab7
To show how much she cared

But the man told so many lies
                              G7 Gb7
Now another man is over there

Gb7
That woman across the river
Ab7                      Db7  B7
Sweet woman across the river
Bbm          A Ab7
She was mine

Db7 Dbm7
   Word got around
Gb7
That he had jilted her
Db7 Dbm7                Gb7
   And men came running
                               Db7
Came running from near and far
Dbm7                Db7
How I been such a fool
 Gb7
Never never never know
Ab7
But the man

He's got to know
               G7
He's a lucky so and so
 Gb7                     Db7
That woman across the river
Ab7
Sweet woman across the river
Gb          Gb7
She was mine
