[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, I'd be long gone
Then I wouldn't be doggone (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Mm-hmm
Mm, hey, hey, hey!

[Verse 2]
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, uh, baby
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 (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Oh, I wouldn't be doggone (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
Baby, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)

[Break]
Mm-hmm
Now did you hear me?
Well now what I say, oh, believe me

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
I'll 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 (Baby)
Though I know you make me feel like nobody could
If I ever found out that you're no good

[Chorus]
Then I wouldn't be doggone (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Well, I wouldn't be doggone (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)

[Outro]
I wouldn't be doggone (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
Gone catch me a train (I'd be long gone)
No baby, I wouldn't be doggone (Wouldn't be doggone, wouldn't be doggone)
I'm gonna catch me a plane
