I gave 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 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
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 had 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 b'lieve 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, I gotta buy another ticket, gonna bring her back with me.
Well, I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas And 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."
Wwll, 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
