Lyrics

Momma never wanted me
From the very first day
But Poppa said I was his girl
So thats why I stayed
He taught me everything I know
While Momma ran away
But he couldn't help me that rainy day
With that man who got away

My man was tall and lovin
I heated up just like an oven
He wanted me to live with him
In everlasting sin
But Poppa said "My girl your momma was a tramp!"
So I told my man no
And that night we broke hands

He was my man, my one and only
He hasn't bothered to telephone me
He was my man, he got away
From Jewanda Faye

Bubba, I thought you loved me
But I was wrong right from the start
Cuz you got in your pickup truck that day
and you drove off with my heart
He left me the next morning
Before the sun had risen
That last I heard about him
He was spending time in prison

Everyone help me oh...

He was my man, my one and only
He hasn't bothered to telephone me
He was my man, he got away
From Jewanda Faye
He was my man, my one and only
He hasn't bothered to telephone me
He was my man, he got away
From poor Jewanda Faye

I'll never see the sunshine now
My tears, they flow like rain
You know, even if he rots in prison
I'll never forget his name
