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 Now hey, hey, hey

I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing

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

Babe, 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

And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end

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
