Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day
  And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay
  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
  
  Now 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
  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! I'd be long gone
  Oh I wouldn't be doggone
  I'd be long gone
  
  Now did you hear what I say ?
  Well now what I say
  Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try
  To be what ever has man wants her to be
  And I don't want much
  All I want from you is for you to be true to me
  
  Well, I'd 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
  Though I know you make me feel like no baby could
  If I ever found out that you're no good
  
  Then I wouldn't be doggone
  Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone
  Well I wouldn't de doggone baby
  I'd be long gone
