well i’d be doggone if i wouldn’t work all day
and i’d be doggone if i wouldn’t bring you my pay
but if i ever caught you running around
blowing my money all over this town
then i wouldn’t be doggone
hey hey i’d be long gone
then i wouldn’t be doggone
i’d be long gone
now hey hey hey
i’ll be doggone if you ain’t a pretty thing
and i’ll be doggone if you ain’t warm as a breath of spring
and if we live to be a hundred years old
if you ever let that spring turn cold
then i wouldn’t be doggone
hey hey hey i’d be long gone
oh i wouldn’t be doggone baby
i’d be long gone
now did you hear me
well now what i say oh believe me
well every woman should try to be
whatever her man wants her to be
and i don’t want much all i want from you
is for you to be true to me
i’ll be doggone if love ain’t a man’s best friend
oh baby and i’ll be doggone if you ain’t the loving end
though i know you make me feel like nobody could
if i ever found out that you’re no good
then i wouldn’t be doggone
i’d be long gone
well i wouldn’t be doggone
i’d be long gone
i wouldn’t be doggone
gone catch me a train
no baby i wouldn’t be
