Once had a woman
I used to watch her walk
Said I once had a woman
I used to watch her talk

Yes
I once had a woman
In my heart in my mind
You know the kind

Once saw my woman
With another man
Once saw my woman
Take a hold of his hand
Said I once saw my woman
In my heart in my mind

Ooh Lord she was a mean kind
She was a good woman yeah
Nothing wrong with her
A little bit wild but all right

Now I'm older
I'm real good at tellin lies
But I'll never forget her no
Even in my heart
Even in my mind
Black eyed girl of mine
She was
A black eyed girl of mine
She's so good
She's still free comin after you
