That day

you left me with the that lonesome night in town

You run off to learn with that you found

Now, all alone with just me

And lonely a-achin' in my soul

I wish I could see you dance the once more

At the near the fishin' hole-a-doo-de-doo



Chorus

I'm-a just inside now that you're a-gone

Just Old Bess and my pet can help me along

Oh-da-hoo-hoo-hoo-de-lay-de-hoo-hoo-hoo-da-lay-de-hoo!



Verse 2

Now the sheriff says I shot my one day when we was out a-fishin'

So I'll do my time a-learnin' in that there a-lonely prison

And, maybe when I get out, I can make a brand new start

And you'll leave that

For the old that's still in your cheatin' heart-a-doo-de-doo-da-lay-de-oh
