[VERSE 1]
DSaw a girl at a picture Gshow
DWalked right up and said “GHello
You Cseem to be a girl in Gneed
CI’m a guy who’s built for Gspeed
CYou and me could have some Gfun
CYou pretty Dlittle Gone”
DTook her riding around the Gtown
DAin’t no woman ever shut me Gdown
C“Have you ever seen a truck like Gthis
CHow about a little Gkiss
CYou pretty Dlittle Gone”
| D— — — C— || G— — — C— | 
| G— — — C— || D— — — — |
[CHORUS]
GPretty Clittle Done
GPretty Clittle Done
[VERSE 2]
DTook her out about a month or Gso
DShe's my gal I told her Gso
CShe resisted for a Gbit
CBaby that’s the way of Git
CYou pretty Dlittle Gone
DCouple of times she tried to Gleave
I Dtold her “that don’t work for Gme”
Her Cdaddy tried to interGvene
CFolks, I’m just a mean maGchine
CI can handle dumb old GPops
CWhat’s he done but shovel Grocks
CI said, “Baby, that’s Genough”
CI might have got a little Grough
On my Cpretty Dlittle Gone”
| D— — — C— || G— — — C— |

[CHORUS]
GPretty Clittle Done
GPretty Clittle Done
[VERSE 3]
DThen she called me late one Gnight
DSaid, “It’s over - let’s not Gfight”
CI said, “Sure but one more Gtalk
CMaybe just a little Gwalk
CRound the block - a nice Ggoodbye
CYou’re so lovely honey Gpie”
CI went over, picked her Gup
CGot her in my pickup Gtruck
CDrivin’ slow around the Gtown
CThen I put the pedal Gdown
CTook her out a gravel Groad
CStopped the truck where no one Ggoes
CThis is where the job gets Gdone
On my Cpretty Dlittle Gone”
| D— — — C— || G— — — C— |

[CHORUS]
GPretty Clittle Done
GPretty Clittle Done
[VERSE 4]
DBlackest night that I had Gseen
DIn the darkness I felt Gmean
CFrom my boot I pulled a Gknife
CSaid “I’m gonna take your Glife”
CI was calm as I could Gget
CSo I lit a cigaGrette
CIn the flicker I could Gsee
CShe had a pistol trained on Gme
CThat pretty Dlittle Gone
DI said, “Mister I’m no Gfool
DMy daddy raised me country Gcool
CThink my daddy knows Genough
COf guys like you who think you’re Gtough
CHe read you as easy as ABGC
CThat’s when he gave this gun to Gme
CAnd ever since your truck arGrived
CMy hand’s been on this forty-Gfive
[VERSE 5]
CI went at her with my Gknife
CShe pulled that trigger, shot me Gtwice
CIn the heart and in the Ghead
CTook half a breath, slumped over Gdead
CShe pumped another for good Gluck
CRight between my butter Gcups
CThat pretty Dlittle Gone
| D— — — C— || G— — — C— | 
| G— — — C— || D— — — — |
[CHORUS]
GPretty Clittle Done
GPretty Clittle Done
[VERSE 6]
DIn the grave, I’m dead and Ggone
DThe little gal, she wrote this Gsong
CShe came over in due Gcourse
CSang to me without reGmorse 
CThen she whispered to the Gground
CI’ll let you have another Ground
CMy name is Lucy GAllencot
CYou should know that I was Gnot
CYour pretty Dlittle Gone
