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! I'd be long gone
Oh I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
Now did you hear what I say ?
Well now what I say
Oh, believe me Well, every woman
should try
To be what ever has man wants
her to be
And I don't want much
All I want from you is for you to be
true to me
Well, I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's
best friend
Oh, baby, And I'll be doggone if you
ain't the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like
no baby could
If I ever found out that you're no good
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone
Well I wouldn't de doggone baby
I'd be long gone
