When the sun come up this morning

And I jumped out of bed

I was feeling fine till I remembered

G7 C

Remembered what my baby said

Last night when we was talking

She broke the news to me

She said today she was leaving

G7 C

And now she's fancy free

I could say I don't worry

I could say I won't cry

I could say I won't miss her

G7 C

But it would be a doggone lie

Did you ever try to stop breathing

Well it just can't be done

I have to find somebody

G7 C

To take her place while she's gone

When she gets tired of roaming

She's gonna wanna come back

And I ain't gonna be foolish

G7 C

I'm gonna take my baby back

I could say I don't worry

I could say I won't cry

I could say I won't miss her

G7 C

But it would be a doggone lie

I could say I don't worry

I could say I won't cry

I could say I won't miss her

G7 C

But it would be a doggone lie
