I'll Be Doggone

(앨범: I'll Play The Blues For You - 1972)

Well, I'll be doggone if I would work all day
And I'll be doggone if I would 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 (baby!)
I'd be long gone, mm mm
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 year 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, mm mm
Now, did you hear me?
Well, now, what I say oh, believe me

Well, ev'ry 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
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
Well, I wouldn't be doggone (baby!)
I'd be long gone
I wouldn't be doggone
(Gonna catch me a train)
Naw, baby, I wouldn't be doggone
I wouldn't be doggone
(Gonna catch me a plane)
