Told You Once In August (feat. John Hammond & Rory Block) Lyrics

I told you once in August
Told you once in May
Told you once in August
I told you once in May
Well, don't say I never warned you now, child
Don't you say you got no say

I been working hard for you, baby
I swing a hammer all day long
I'm working hard for you, baby
I swing a hammer all day long
Then I get home in the evening now, child
I find you do me wrong

When ya come home after midnight
Ya got his whisky on your kiss
Oh, when ya come home after midnight, baby
Ya got his whisky on your kiss (whisky on your kiss)
Can't get enough of cheatin' now, baby
I had enough of this

Well, I told you once in August
I told you once in May (told you once in May)
Well, I told you once in August
I told you once in May
Well don't say I didn't warn you now, child
Don't you say you got no say

I saw you come down from the mountain
With moonlight on your back
I saw you come down from the mountain, baby
Moonlight on your back

I saw you breaking my heart now, baby, now yeah
Dealing another Jack

Now I wish you weren't so lovely, baby
I wish I didn't feel this pain

Wow, I wish you weren't so lovely, baby
Wish I didn't feel this pain

I wish I never heard you singing, little girl
In the summer rain

The day I met you in the ocean, baby
I looked up to the sky

The day I met you in the ocean now, baby
I looked up to the sky

Well, I'm still looking up there, baby
Looking up and wonderin' why

Well, I'm still looking up there now, baby
Looking up and wonderin' why
Wondering why, baby
