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 that mean eyed cat | |
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 | |
But I put on my overalls and | |
I headed to 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, blond hair | |
He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad blamedI 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 and gotta buy another ticket | |
Gonna bring her back with me | |
Well, I got off the train somewhere in | |
ArkansasAnd | |
I worked up the guts to call my mother-in-law | |
She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right""She's workin' four to twelve at trucker's world tonight" | |
Well when | |
I walked in she saw me, and she took off her apron | |
And she grabbed her goin' home hat | |
She bought a ticket with her tips and now we're curled up on the sofa | |
Me and her and that mean eyed cat |
