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 paid 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 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 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 for town,
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 Eastbound train.

I bought a round-trip ticket on the Eastbound train,
I was broke as I could be,
But when I come back, I gotta buy another ticket,
Gotta bring her back with me.
