Lyrics:

Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day (baby)
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay (baby)
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 (I'd be long gone), hm-hmm
Now, 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, ah (baby)
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
I'd be long gone, hm-hmm
Now, did you hear me?
Well, now what I say
Oh, believe me. Well, every 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'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 (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, catch me a drink
(I'd be long gone) no, baby
I wouldn't be doggone, I'm gonna catch me
