Right here in prison
Longin' to be free
Right here in prison
Longin' to be free
A false-hearted woman
Hoo-well-well, is the downfall of me

She caused me to steal
All the workin' man could save
I know, she caused me to steal
All the workin' man could save
She nearly caused for me
Hoo-well-well, to be in my grave

She turned her back on mePeetie Wheatstraw - False Hearted Woman - http://motolyrics.com/peetie-wheatstraw/false-hearted-woman-lyrics.html
Time I landed in jail
She turn her back on me
Time I landed in jail
Oh well, she wouldn't even write
Ooo-well-well, send poor me no mail

May bad luck overtake you
Pile up you on you in a heap
May bad luck overtake you
Pile up you on you in a heap
Well, you're nothin' but a crook
A-round you, now you know death may creep

Now, I have got to be old
And just about turnin' gray
I have got to be old
Just about turnin' gray
No other false-hearted woman
Woo-well-well, could drive me this-a-way.
