Well now I once knew a woman listen while I tell you all about her yeah

And the first time I seen her I knew I couldn't live without her

Well now she swore she'd love me all her life and I knew I'd do the same

God damn but I don't even remember her name I don't remember her name



Well now I once knew a woman and oh listen while I'm tellin' it to ya yeah

She had big brown eyes the kind that could look right through ya

Now that she looked in my soul with those big brown eyes

Got a feelin' like I never knew hey come to think of it those eyes were blue

I think those eyes were blue



Well now you end one love then onto another never thinkin' back at the past one

Never stop to think oh brother that the next one gonna be just like the last one

I once knew a woman listen while I tell you my story

She had a heart like the world her lips like a morning glory yeah

Well I knew at last I met my fate and I'm bound to settle down

Hey I wonder if she's still in town



Yeah I once knew a woman and listen while I tell you some more boys

Hey come to think of it I think I told bout her before boys

Well she is the one who gets my heart she sets my heart aflame

Yeah I still don't remember her name

Hmm come to think of it those eyes were blue or were they green

Hmm I wonder if she's still around hmm you know I'm really not to blame

Oh I still don't remember her name
