| 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 gave 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 blamedI believe 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 and gotta buy another ticket | |
| Gonna bring her back with me | |
| Well, I got off the train somewhere in | |
| ArkansasAnd | |
| 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" | |
| Well 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 |
