Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day, baby
A
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay, baby
       A                 D
But if I ever caught you runnin' around
F#m                  B         E
Blowin' my money all over this town
       A
Then I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone 
       A
Then I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone

A
I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing, baby
A
I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring, baby
A                  D
If we live to be a hundred years old
   F#m               B           E
If you ever let that spring turn cold
       A
Then I wouldn't be doggone, hey hey, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
      A

Well, every woman should try to be

Whatever her man wants her to be

I don't want much, all I ask of you

I'll be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend, baby

I'll be doggone if you ain't on the lovin' end, baby
  A                          E
I know you make me feel like nobody could
         F#m                 B         E
But if I ever found out that you're no good
       A                                 
Then I wouldn't be doggone, baby, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Whoa, I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
        A
Whoa, I wouldn't be doggone
