Well, I had me a woman
Couldn't be true
She made me for my money
And she made me blue

A man needs a woman
He can lean on
But my leanin' post
Is done left and gone

She's long gone, now, lonesome blue

Well, she told me on a Sunday
She was checkin' me out
Here it is Tuesday
She's nowhere about

A man needs a woman
That he can lean on
But my leanin' post
Is done left and gone

Yes, she's long gone, now, lonesome blue

Yeah, she told me on Sunday
She was checkin' me out
Here it is Monday
She's nowhere about

A man needs a woman
He can lean on
But my leanin' post
Is done left and gone

Yes, she's long gone, now, lonesome blue
