You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave) [Health & Happiness Show Two, October 1949] Songtext
von Hank Williams

We gonna start off, feel the lyrics revised
In the song that I wrote here a while back in recording
You can call it, "If you don′t change honey
I'm all packed my suitcase and go home and live with momma" let′s go

Well, you wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and un-packin' your junk
Your daddy′s mad, he′s done got peeved
And you're gonna change or I′m a-gonna leave

You gonna change your way of livin', change the things you do
Stop doin′ all them things that you hurtin' to
Your daddy′s mad, he's done got peeved
And you gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave


Well, this ain′t right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin′, all the day long
Now you gotta stop, I don't mean please
You gonna change or I′m a-gonna leave

The way to keep a woman happy and make her do what's right
Is love her every mornin′, bawl her out at night
Your daddy's mad, he′s done got peeved
And you gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

Well, every time you get mad
You pack your rags and you go home to dad
You tell him lies he don't believe
And you gonna change or I′m a-gonna leave

You gonna change your way of livin′, change the things you do
Stop doin' all them things that you hurtin′ to
Your daddy's mad, he′s done got peeved
You gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave


(Yeah, eh, alright)
Eh you have it, You gonna change or I′m gonna leave
Friends, right now here is our friend again with a little word for you
So listen, we'll be back in just a minute
