Verse 2
food for a mean- eyed cat
(A major) When I give her ten more dollars for a
one- way ticket
(D major) She was mad as could be
Then I bet ten more that if
she ever left
She'd come a- crawlin' back to me
Verse 3
When (D major) I woke up this mornin'
and I turned my head
There wasn't a cotton- pickin'
thing (A major) on her side of the bed
I (D major) found a little note where
her head belonged
It said, (G major) dear John, honey,
baby, (A major) I'm long gone
(D major)
Verse 4
When I heard (G major) a whistle blowin',
and the big wheels a- turnin'
I was (D major) scared as I could be
I put on my overalls and I
(G major) headed for town
Gonna (A major) bring her back with me
(D major)
Verse 5
I asked the man down at the station
if he'd seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and (A major) long,
blonde hair
He spit (D major) his tobacco, said, I'll be dad- blamed
I believe I did (G major) see her leavin'
on the (A major) Eastbound train
(D major)
Verse 6
I bought a round- (G major) trip ticket
on the Eastbound train
I was (D major) broke as I could be
But when I come back,
I gotta buy (G major) another ticket
Gotta (A major) bring her back with me
