(Gregg Allman, Berry Oakley)
I recall once upon a time
Livin` was so easy and I felt so fine
But, my, my, my
Right before my very eyes
Satan came with fire to burn me
Wouldn`t listen when they warned me
A dagger in my back
While she`s calling me honey wouldn`t stand back
For neither love nor money
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
She put up a sign and my house began to wail
But, why, why, why
I couldn`t see it in my little girl`s eyes?
She had such a way to fool me
Lord, she had a way to fool me
And I would ask the woman
