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 Paid Ten Dollars For A Ten-Cent Hat
And Bought Some Store-Bought Cat Food For A Mean-Eyed Cat
When I Give Her Ten More Dollars For A One-Way Ticket
She Was Mad As Could Be
Then I Bet Ten More That If She Ever Left
She’d Come A-Crawling’ Back To Me
When I Woke Up This Morning’ And I Turned My Head
There Wasn’t A Cotton-Picking’ Thing On Her Side Of The Bed
I Found A Little Note Where Her Head Belonged
It Said, Dear John, Honey, Baby, I’m Long Gone
When I Heard A Whistle Blowing’, And The Big Wheels A-Turning’
I Was Scared As I Could Be
I Put On My Overalls And I Headed For 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, Blonde Hair
He Spit His Tobacco, Said, I’ll Be Dad-Blamed
I Believe I Did See Her Leavin’ On The Eastbound Train
I Bought A Round-Trip Ticket On The Eastbound Train
I Was Broke As I Could Be
But When I Come Back, I Gotta Buy Another Ticket
Gotta Bring Her Back With Me
