Tuning:
CI gave my woman half my money at the general store
I said now buy a little groceries and G7don't spend no more
Then Cshe paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat
And got some Fstore bought cat food for a G7mean eyed Ccat
When I Fgive her ten more dollars for a one way ticket
She was Cmad as she could be
Then I bet ten more that if she Fever left
She'd come G7a-crawling back to Cme
When I woke up this morning and I turned my head
There wasn't a cotton picking thing on G7her side of the bed
I Cfound a little old note where her head belonged
It said Fdear John honey G7baby I'm long Cgone
When I Fheard a whistle blowing and the big wheels a-turning
I was Cscared as I could be
I put on my overalls and I Fheaded for town
I'm gonna G7bring her back with Cme
I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and G7long blonde hair
He Cspit his tobacco said I'll be dad blamed
I believe I Fdid see her leaving on the G7east bound Ctrain
I bought a Fround trip ticket on the east bound train
I was Cbroke as I could be
But when I come back I gotta Fbuy another ticket
Gonna G7bring her back with Cme
