I can't forget the day, baby you walked away,
I can't forget the day, mama you walked away,
Can't forget the day that you walked away,
When you come back next time, here to stay,
That’s the reason I’m telling you mama you’re losin’ out.

Well it was early one morning you come draggin’ home,
Well it was early one morning you come draggin’ home,
It was early morning, dragging home say forgive me daddy for I gone wrong,
That’s the reason I’m telling you mama you’re losin’ out.

Well you left that time and you ain’t gonna leave no more,
Yeah, you left that time and you ain’t gonna leave no more,
Well you left that time, ain’t gonna leave no more,
I’m putting a lock on my back door,
And that’s the reason I’m telling you mama you’re losin’ out.

Well I followed my baby to her barren place,
Yeah I followed my baby to her barren place,
Well I followed my baby to her barren place,
Can’t get another writer to take your place,
That’s the reason I’m telling you mama you’re losin’ out.

You oughta heard me crying, baby you’re all I crave,
You oughta heard me crying, mama you’re all I crave,
You oughta heard me crying you’re all I crave,
While I wrote your will upon your grave,
And that’s the reason I’m telling you mama your losin’ out.
And that’s the reason I’m telling you mama your losin’ out.
And that’s the reason I’m telling you mama your losin’ out
