I'll Be Doggone

Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day, baby

And I'll 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

Then I wouldn't be doggone

Hey, hey, I'd be long gone

Then I wouldn't be doggone

I'd be long gone

Hmm, 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, uh, baby

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, baby

I'd be long gone (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, 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

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

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
