i gave my woman half my money at the general store,[00:00:09]
i said, "now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more."[00:00:13]
but she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat,[00:00:17]
and bought some store-bought cat food for that mean-eyed cat.[00:00:21]
when i give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket[00:00:26]
she was mad as she could be[00:00:30]
then i bet ten more that if she ever left[00:00:35]
she'd come a-crawlin' back to me[00:00:39]
when i woke up this mornin' and i turned my head[00:00:59]
there wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed[00:01:03]
i found a little note where her head belonged[00:01:08]
it said, "dear john, honey, baby, i'm long gone."[00:01:12]
when i heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin'[00:01:17]
i was scared as i could be[00:01:21]
i put on my overalls and i headed to town[00:01:25]
i'm gonna bring her back with me.[00:01:29]
i asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there[00:01:50]
i told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair[00:01:54]
he spit his tobacco, said, "i'll be dad blamed,[00:01:59]
i believe i did see her leavin' on the east bound train."[00:02:02]
i bought a round trip ticket on the east bound train[00:02:07]
i was broke as i could be[00:02:12]
but when i come back, gotta buy another ticket[00:02:16]
gotta bring her back with me.[00:02:20]
