作曲：

I gave my woman half my money at the general store

I said "Now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more"

But she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat

And bought some store-bought cat food for that mean-eyed cat

When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head

There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed

I found a little ol' note where her head belonged

It said "Dear John honey baby I'm long gone"

When I heard a whistle blowin' and the big wheels a-turnin'

I was scared as I could be

I put on my overalls and I headed to town

Gonna bring her back with me

I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there

I told him all about her pretty eyes and long blonde hair

He spit his tobacco said "I'll be dad blamed

I believe I did see her leavin' on the east-bound train"

I bought a round-trip ticket on the east bound train

I was broke as I could be

But when I come back I gotta buy another ticket

Gonna bring her back with me

Well I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas

And I worked up the guts to call my mother-in-law

She said "I'll tell you where she is if you act right

She's workin' four-to-twelve at Trucker's World tonight"

Well when I walked in she saw me and she took off her apron

And she grabbed her goin'-home hat

She bought a ticket with her tips Now we're curled up on the sofa

Me and her and that mean-eyed cat
