Told You Once In August - Dion, Rory Block, John Hammond

I told you once in August

Told you once in May

Told you once in August

I told you once in May

Well don’t say I never warned you now, child

Don’t say you got no say

I been working hard for you baby

I swing a hammer all day long

I’m working hard for you baby

I swing a hammer all day long

Then I get home in the evening now, child

I find you do me wrong

When ya come home after midnight

Ya got his whiskey on your kiss

Oh when ya come home after midnight, baby

Ya got his whiskey on your kiss (whiskey on your kiss)

Can’t get enough of cheatin' now, baby

Now I had enough of this

Well I told you once in August

I told you once in May (told you once in May)

Well I told you once in August

Told you once in May

Well don’t say I didn’t warn you now, child

Don’t say you got no say

I saw you come down from the mountain

With moonlight on your back

I saw you come down from the mountain, baby

With moonlight on your back

I saw you breaking my heart now, baby, now yeah

Dealing another Jack

Now I wish you weren’t so lovely, baby

Wish I didn’t feel this pain

Now I wish you weren’t so lovely, baby

I wish I didn’t feel this pain

I wish I never heard you singing, little girl

In the summer rain

The day I met you in the ocean, baby

I looked up to the sky

The day I met you in the ocean now, baby

I looked up to the sky

Well I’m still looking up there baby

Looking up and wonderin' why

Well I’m still looking up there now, baby

Up and wonderin' why

Wondering why, baby
