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
