Damn That Woman

If one day you're walkin by the river

And by chance my body washes up

Don't send the law out lookin for the killer

Damn that woman— I probably just gave up

If one day the paper reads I'm missin'

You'll find me lyin' 'neath some railroad tracks

Don't flip me over if you find me lyin' face down in the dirt

Just kindly take the knife out of my back

If one day you're walkin through the forest

And you find my lifeless body hangin' off some tree

It might not be a woman who tied the rope around my neck

But it's that woman who took the life from me

So next time you see some woman laughin'

Ask her just what she's done to me

And tell the judge to lock her up and throw away the key

Damn that woman— look what she's done to me

Damn that woman— she's killin me
