I'll Be Doggone (alt. version) (Pye outtake) Songtext
von The Searchers

Well, I′d be doggone if I wouldn't work all day (ah, baby)
And I′d be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay (ah, baby)
But if I ever caught you running around
Throwing my money all over this town

Then I wouldn't be doggone
I′d be long gone
No, I wouldn′t be doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Well, I′ll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing (ah, baby)
And I′ll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring (ah, baby)
And if we live to be one hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold

Then I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn′t be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I'd be long gone)
No, I wouldn′t be doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I'd be long gone)


Well, did you hear me?
Well, now, what I say? (Please, believe me)

Well, every woman should try to be
Whatever her man wants her to be
And I don′t want much, all I want from you
Is for you to be true to me

Well, I'll be doggone if love ain't a man′s best friend (ah, baby)
And I′ll be doggone if you ain't the loving end (ah, baby)
Though I know you make me feel like nobody could
If I ever found out that you′re no good

Then I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn′t be doggone)
I'd be long gone (I′d be long gone)
No, I wouldn't be doggone (wouldn't be doggone)
I′d be long gone (I′d be long gone)


I'd be long gone (yeah)
I′d be long gone (yeah)
I'd be long gone (yeah)
I′d be long gone (yeah)
I'd be long gone
I′d be long gone
