VERSE 2
when I woke up this morning and I turned my head
there wasn't a cotton pickin thing on her side of the bed
I found a little old note where her head belonged
it said dear John honey baby, I'm long gone
CHORUS
when I heard a whistle blowing and the big wheels a turning
I was scared as I could be
I put on my overalls and I headed for town I'm gonna'
bring her back with me

VERSE 3
I asked a man down at the station if he had seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long blond hair
he spit his tobaccer, said I'll be dad-blamed
I believe I did see her leaving on a east bound train
CHORUS
I bought a round-trip ticket on the east bound train
I was broke as I could be
but when I come back, I gotta buy another ticket
gonna' bring her back with me
