Should've Learnt My Lesson (WNCR Cleveland Radio Session / 1972)

I shoulda learned my lesson

A long, long time ago

A long time ago

I shoulda learned my lesson

A long, long time ago

A long time ago

But like a mule, like a mule

I've always learned my lesson slow

I've always learned my lesson slow

I run down to the corner

Pick up a six pack of beer

Run down to the corner

Pick up a six pack of beer

Sit down at a lonely table

Don't let nobody come near

Oh yeah

Call up my sweet lady

On a lonesome telephone

The voice on the other end, I swear

It's a low-down

A long, long time ago

Long time ago

I think I learned my lesson pretty well

I'm gonna have to let that young woman go

Let her go

Come on

I sure learned my lesson

A long, long time ago

Long time ago

I sure learned my lesson

A long, long time ago

Long time ago

Now I think I realize

I have to let that young woman go

I have to let that young woman go

Let her go, let her go

I have to let that young woman go
