Lyrics:

Well, I'll be doggone if I would work all day (baby)
And I’ll de doggone if I bring you home my pay (baby)
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
Then I wouldn’t be doggone (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)
And if we live to be one hundred year old
If you ever let that spring turn cold
Then I wouldn’t be doggone (wouldn’t be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I’d be long gone)
Oh, I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I'd be long gone. (I’d be long gone)
Now, did you hear me, what I say?
Please 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

Well, I'll be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend (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 (wouldn't be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
I'd be long gone
I'd be long gone
I'd be long gone
