I'll Be Doggone

Well, I'd be doggone

If I didn't work all day baby

I'd be doggone

If I didn't bring home no pay baby

If I ever caught you running around

Throwing my money all over this town

Then I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone

No, I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone

I'd be long gone

Well, I'll be doggone

If you ain't a pretty thing baby

And I'll be doggone

If you ain't warm as a breath of spring baby

If we live to be one hundred years old

If you ever left that spring'd turn cold

Then I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone

No, I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone

I'd be long gone

Did you hear it?

What I say?

Please believe me

Well, every woman should try and be

Whatever her man wants her to be

And I don't want much

All I want from you

Is you to be true to me?

Well, I'll be doggone

If love ain't a mans best friend baby

And I'll be doggone

If you ain't a loving hand baby

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

No, I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone

I'd be long gone

I'd be long gone.
