See that woman sittin' there bright light shinin' in her hair
My baby used to be that way
See her dancin' with the men she's been here since Lord knows when
My baby used to be that way

Many nights I'd be alone didn't know where she had gone
Yes my baby used to be that way
Then I found her here one night took her home and loved her right
Yes my baby used to be that way
[ fiddle ]
My baby used to be that way
[ steel ]
My baby used to be that way

So don't blame her for her way love will bring her better days
My baby used to be that way
She's just waitin' for her man it's the only way she can
Yes my baby used to be that way
[ fiddle ]
My baby used to be that way
[ fiddle ]
My baby used to be that way
