I Lost A Good Girl - Original - John Lee Hooker

I lost a good woman just about to break my heart

I lost a good woman just about to break my heart

It is all my fault

I didn’t do the things I should

She begged, she begged me «Johnny, Johnny stay home with me»

She begged, and begged me «Johnny, stay home with me»

I wasn’t paying no mind

Running around night and day

Well, got to…

She’d try to talk to me.

I grab my hat and run

She’ll try to talk to me.

I grab my hat and run

Well, she couldn’t tell me nothin'

Sat down and talked to me

Now, not long that girl hurtin' me to my heart

I done lost a good woman, and hurtin' me to my heart

Now she mistreats me, I can’t take it no more
