Well, I'll Be Doggone if I would work all day And I'll Be Doggone if I would 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 (Baby!) I'd be long gone. mm mm 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 year 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. mm mm Now, did you hear me? Well, now, what I say oh, believe me. Well, ev'ry woman should try to be whatever 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'll 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 nobody could, If I ever found out that you're no good Then I wouldn't be doggone Well, I wouldn't be doggone (Baby!) I'd be long gone. I wouldn't be doggone (gonna catch me a train) Naw, baby, I wouldn't be doggone I wouldn't be doggone (gonna catch me a plane)
