Once I had me a woman and everything was goin' my way, she thought I had hung the moon and she 
A.                       D
had an angels face, till one night I pulled in my drive and somethin was

goin' on, there was a long bed ford in my spot that I damn sure didn't own---- well I walked up to the screen door an I heard this awful noise, 
I moved onto the livin' room and there set my two boys I said wheres mama an they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall

Verse III (Same as Verse 1)
That's what I told that Jury… That's what I told that judge
An I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge
