‘Cross the river a good woman's cryin'
All because foolish man is lyin'
She gives up all she has
Just to show how much she cares
But the man told so many lies
Now another man is over there
*That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river
Word got around he had jilted her
Men came runnin',came runnin’from near and far
How can I be such a fool I'll never,never,never know?
But the man that’s got her now is a lucky so and so
*Repeat
She was mine
**Met her one day ‘bout a week ago
She said,“I don't even wanna talk to you
‘Cause I don't love you anymore”
*Repeat
She was mine
**Repeat
*Repeat
She was mine
