Well You Know I Had to Do It Lyrics

Well you know I got to do it
Yes you know I got to do it
Yes you know I got to do it
And I can′t 'bout to lose my gal

Mississippi River so deep and wide
I can′t get a letter from the other side

Boy you know I got to do it
Yes you know I got to do it
Yes you know I got to do it
And I can't 'bout to lose my gal

I jumped in the river, I started to drown
I thought about my woman and I turned around

Boy you know I had to do it
Yes you know I had to do it
Yes you know I had to do it
And I can′t ′bout to lose my gal

Take her to a dance, she danced with another
When I got married she swore it was her brother

Boy you know she had to do it
Yeah you know she had to do it
Yes you know she had to do it
And I can't ′bout to lose my gal

Well I jumped in the river, I started to drown
I thought about that woman and I turned around

Boy you know I had to do it
Yeah you know I had to do it
Yes you know I had to do it
And I can't ′bout to lose my gal

First time I met her, I met her at a stand
Hit me side of the head said "Big Bo won't you be my man?"

Boy you know I had to do it
Yes you know I had to do it
Yes you know I had to do it
And I can′t 'bout to lose my gal

I knocked on her door, thought I had past ten
When I heard her cryin' that you can′t come in

Boy you know she had to do it
Yes you know she had to do it
Yes you know she had to do it
And I can′t 'bout to lose my gal

Pick it up now
