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 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
But 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'd seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blond hair
He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad blamed
