I'll Be Doggone

Well, I'd be doggone if I wouldn't work all day, baby

And I'd 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

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, hey, hey, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Oh, I wouldn't be doggone

Baby, I'd be long gone

I did't you hear me? yeah

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'll be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend

And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end, ohh

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

I'd be long gone
