I'll Be Doggone

[Verse 1] Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay But if I ever caught you running around Blowing my money all over this town [Chorus] Then I wouldn't be doggone Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone Then I wouldn't be doggone I'd be long gone [Verse 2] 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 years old If you ever let that spring turn cold [Chorus] Then I wouldn't be doggone Hey! I'd be long gone Oh I wouldn't be doggone, baby I'd be long gone [Bridge] Now did you hear what I say? Well now what I say, oh, believe me Well, every woman should try to be whatever has man wants her to be And I don't want much, all I want from you is for you to be true to me [Verse 3] Well, 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 Though I know you make me feel like no baby could If I ever found out that you're no good [Chorus] Then I wouldn't be doggone Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone Well I wouldn't de doggone I'd be long gone
