[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] [C] [F]
I give my woman half my money at the general store.
I said, now buy a little groceries and don't [C] spend no more.
[F] Then she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat,
and [Bb] got some store bought [C] cat food for [F] me and I can't.
When [Bb] I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket,
[F] she was mad as she could be.
Then I bet ten more [Bb] that if she ever left,
[C] she'd come a crawling [F] back to me.
[Bb] [C]

[Am] [F]
When I woke up this morning and I turned my head,
there wasn't a cotton picking thing on her [C] side of the bed.
[F] I found a little old oak where her head belonged.
It [Bb] said, dear John, honey, baby, [F] I'm long gone.
When I heard a whistle blowing and the big wheels were turning,
I was scared as I could be.
I put on my [Bb] overalls and I headed for town.
I'm [C] gonna bring her back [F] with me.
[Bb] [C]
[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] [Bb] [C] [F]
[C] [F]
I asked the man down at the station if he had seen her there.
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long blonde hair.
He spit his tobacco and said I'll be that blamed.
[Bb] I believe a dead seer leaving on an [F] eastbound train.
I bought a round trip ticket on an eastbound train.
I was broke as I could be.
But when I come back, I gotta [Bb] buy another ticket.
[C] Gonna bring her back [F] with me.
