Well, I'd be doggone
If I didn't work all day baby
I'd be doggone
If I didn't bring home no pay baby
If I ever caught you running around
Throwing my money all over this town
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
No, I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
I'd be long gone
Well, 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 baby
If we live to be one hundred years old
If you ever left that spring'd turn cold
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
No, I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
I'd be long gone
Did you hear it?
What I say?
Please believe me
Well, every woman should try and be
Whatever her man wants her to be
And I don't want much
All I want from you
Is you to be true to me?
Well, I'll be doggone
If love ain't a mans best friend baby
And I'll be doggone
If you ain't a loving hand 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
No, I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
I'd be long gone
I'd be long gone.
