I'll Be Doggone

Hey

I'll be doggone if I didn't bring you my pay
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day

But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town
I wouldn't be doggone
I'll be long gone

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
I wouldn't be doggone
I'll be long gone

What'd I say?
Every woman should try to be
Whatever her man wants her to be
I don't ask 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
And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end

Though I know you make me feel like nobody could
If I ever found out that you're no good
I wouldn't be doggone
I'll be long gone
I'll be long gone
I'll be long gone
