His Old Lady and My Old Lady

I was sitting at the bar, in my favorite café (Annie Mae's)

Oh, when a stranger, oh, he came walking my way, yes, he did

He said, "Do you mind if I sit down next to you?"

He started talking about his woman

What I was hearing, I was hoping it wasn't true

But when he kept on talking, I knew it was no maybe

That his old lady and my old lady

Oh, she was the same lady

Oh, yeah, she was

He said she had a sister, and she was fine as could be

And her sister's name, oh, her sister's name was Christen

Oh, no, here's the part that hurt me though

And Milton Junior, was the name of her baby

And her mother's name just happened to be Sadie

Well, I knew right there that this was no maybe

His old lady and my old lady

She was the same lady, oh, yeah

He said her loving was the best he ever had

Deep down in my heart, oh, I felt so sad

He said she did things to him that would blow my mind

And that's when the tears started falling from my eyes

I got up from the bar, walked out the door

Got in and drove off in my car

Oh, I drove around and cried all night long

I wondered why my baby would do me wrong

I didn't want to hear her lies and alibi

I didn't even bother to tell her goodbye

'Cause what I knew, oh, was driving me crazy

His old lady and my old lady

Oh, she was the same lady

Oh, yeah, she was

I wonder why, why my baby would do me wrong

I did my best, oh, Lord, yeah

To give the woman a good home

But I have to admit, oh, that I still love her so, oh, yeah

But knowing what I know right now

I just can't stay there no more

His old lady and my old lady

His old lady and my old lady
