๐ Lyrics
I give my woman half my money at the general store
I said: "Now buy a little groceries, and don't spend no more"
But she gave ten dollars for a ten cent hat
And bought some store bought cat food for a mean eyed cat
When I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket
She was mad as she could be
Then I bet ten more that if she ever left
She'd come a-crawlin' back to me
When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head
There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed
I found a little old note where her head belonged
It said: "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone"
When I heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin'
I was scared as I could be
I put on my overalls and I headed to town
I'm gonna bring her back with me
I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair
He spit his tobacco, said: "I'll be dad blamed...
I believe I did see her leavin' on the east bound train"
I bought a round trip ticket on the east bound train
I was broke as I could be
But when I come back gotta buy another ticket
Gotta bring her back with me
I said: "Now buy a little groceries, and don't spend no more"
But she gave ten dollars for a ten cent hat
And bought some store bought cat food for a mean eyed cat
When I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket
She was mad as she could be
Then I bet ten more that if she ever left
She'd come a-crawlin' back to me
When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head
There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed
I found a little old note where her head belonged
It said: "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone"
When I heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin'
I was scared as I could be
I put on my overalls and I headed to town
I'm gonna bring her back with me
I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair
He spit his tobacco, said: "I'll be dad blamed...
I believe I did see her leavin' on the east bound train"
I bought a round trip ticket on the east bound train
I was broke as I could be
But when I come back gotta buy another ticket
Gotta bring her back with me
