I've Only Loved Three Women (HarveyRodgers)

Ive only loved three women
In all my weary life
The first one was my mother
The one who gave me life
Then God gave me a sister
I loved her more than life
And after I grew to be a man
I took my darling wife
For Ive only loved three women
In all my lonesome life
My mother dear My sister fair
And my dear darling wife

We traveled east we traveled west
And God knows that Ive tried
For every time she did me wrong
Id forgive my loving wife
Id take her in my loving arms
Forgive again and again
Till one spring day she ran away
With a man I thought was my friend
For Ive only loved three women
In all my weary life
My sister and my mother dear
And my dear darling wife

Then I traveled east I traveled west
But I traveled all alone
And after two long years have gone
I found a man wrecked my home
They put me in the jailhouse
That dont worry me
For if you take my life away
It will put my worries free
Ive only loved three women
In all my weary life
My sister and my mother dear
And the one I call my wife
