I Got A Break, Baby

My First Wife Left Me - John Lee Hooker

When my first wife left me

She left my heart in misery

When my first wife left me

She left my heart in misery

Ever since that day boy

I don't think I'll ever love again

If I can get her back again

I'll never roam no more

If I get her back again

Boys I never roam no more

I had a good wife

But I did not treat her right

It's my fault

Only have myself to blame

It's my fault it's my fault boys

I only have myself to blame

She would have been home right now

If I hadn't wanted every woman that I seen

I found out one thing

These women don't mean you no good

I found out one thing people

These women don't mean you no good

You mistreated a good girl for some woman

That she'd turn around and turn her back on you

Yes yeah

I'm having bad luck

Having bad luck ever since she been gone

I'm having bad luck bad luck bad luck

Ever since my baby been gone

When she was at home

Lord I did not treat her right
