I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay
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
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd 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
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone

Every woman should try to be
What ever has man wants her to be
I don't want much, all I want from you
Is for you to be true to me

I'd be doggonе if love ain't a man's best friend
And I'll bе 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
I'd be long gone
