Lyrics:
Well, I'll be doggone
If I wouldn't work all day
And I'll 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

Hey, hey, hey
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

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
What ever 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'd be doggone
If love ain't a man's best friend (baby)
And I'll be doggone
If you ain't the loving end (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
Well, I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
