[00:06.140](f) well when I woke up this mornin’,
[00:10.930]There was a note upon my door,
[00:13.670]Said don’t make me no coffee babe,
[00:16.720]’cause I won’t be back no more,
[00:18.890]And that’s all she wrote, dear john,
[00:21.630]I’ve (c7) sent your saddle (f) home.
[00:24.620]Now jonah got along in the belly of the whale,
[00:28.540]Daniel in the lion’s den,
[00:30.900]But I know a guy that didn’t try to get along,
[00:33.760]And he won’t get a chance again,
[00:36.320]And that’s all she wrote, dear john,
[00:39.050]I’ve fetched your saddle home.
[00:53.860]Now she didn’t forward no address,
[01:05.120]Nor she didn’t say goodbye,
[01:07.170]All she said was if you get blue,
[01:10.040]Just hang your little head and cry,
[01:12.460]And that’s all she wrote, dear john,
[01:15.200]I’ve sent your saddle home.
[01:19.550]Now my gal’s short and stubby,
[01:21.850]She’s strong as she can be,
[01:24.280]But if that little old gal of mine,
[01:27.640]Ever get’s a-hold of me,
[01:30.010]That’s all she wrote, dear john,
[01:32.740]I’ve sent your saddle home.
[01:54.770]Now jonah got along in the belly of the whale,
[01:58.000]Daniel in the lion’s den,
[02:00.680]But I know a man that didn’t try to get along,
[02:03.350]And he won’t get a chance again,
[02:05.530]And that’s all she wrote, dear john,
[02:08.640]I’ve fetched your saddle home.
[02:12.810]Now I went down to the bank this morning,
[02:15.360]The cashier said with a grin,
[02:17.850]I feel so sorry for you hank,
[02:20.900]But your wife has done been in,
[02:23.140]And that’s all she wrote, dear john,
[02:25.880]I’ve sent your saddle home.
