When you saw me in that morning light
I was sober but I felt alright
I was lonesome but I did not care
I was happy on my down thereYou came on so friendly
Introducing her to me
Somehow something shifted
And I drifted out to seaAnd then I don't wish a tear
And I don't mean your harm
But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms
Is she poison - man I just can't tell
I'm in heaven but I don't feel well
and here I stand a talking
I don't expect to shake your hand
I don't know what you're thinking
But I hope you'll understandAnd I don't wish a tear
And I don't mean your harm
But I'm lost in your sweetheart's armsI bought some tickets
And I packed my clothes
Cause I'm leaving
And I hope she'll go
I'm going back to Memphis
And I'd like to change her name
Do I have her love
Or am I caught up in some gameAnd I don't wish a tear
And I don't mean your harm
But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms
