Chuck Berry - My Woman lyrics

Last night as I lay me down in bed

Over and over I heard the last words my woman said

Take me with you, I'm so lonesome

But I choose to leave instead

Yesterday, she came to me and held my hand

Said she was blue and oh so lonesome

And would I try to understand

I didn't know till this morning

How much my woman means to me

This morning when I got home, she was not there

I noticed her clothes were gone

And a little note lay on my shelf

Said as you read this, I love you still

But I'll be gone, I don't know where

Today I got the blues and I got 'em bad

Last night as I lay sleeping

My conscious will not go to rest

Yesterday I lost the best woman I ever had

One of these days, can't say where and I don't know when

It may be in time, it may be soon

It may be in a place I've never been

But I'm gonna find that fine woman

And together with her again
