Lyrics

I give my woman half my money at the general store I said, "now buy a little groceries, and don't spend no more." but she gave ten dollars for a ten cent hat and bought some store bought cat food for a mean eyed cat

When I give her ten more dollars for a one way ticket she was mad as she could be then I bet ten more that if she ever left she'd come a-crawlin' back to me 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 old 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, gotta buy another ticket gotta 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."

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 and now we're curled up on the sofa, me and her....and that mean eyed cat
