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      Then I wouldn't be doggone   Hey, hey, I'd be long gone   Then I wouldn't be doggone   I'd be long gone      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      Then I wouldn't be doggone   Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone   Oh, I wouldn't be doggone   Babe, I'd be long gone      Now did you hear me?   Well, now what I say   Oh, believe me      Well, every woman should try to be   What ever 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   And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end   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
