| She'd come a- | crawlin' back to | meÊ |
| When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my headÊ |
| There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bedÊ |
| I found a little old note where her head belongedÊ |
| It said, "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone." |
| When I heard a whistle blowin,' and the big wheels a-turnin'Ê |
| I was scared as I could beÊ |
| I put on my overalls and I headed to townÊ |
| Gonna bring her back with me. |
| I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her thereÊ |
| I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair |
| He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad blamedÊ |
| I believe I did see her leavin' on the east bound train." |
| I bought a round trip ticket on the east bound trainÊ |
| I was broke as I could beÊ |
| But when I come back, gotta buy another ticketÊ |
| Gotta bring her back with me. |
| Well, I got off the train somewhere in ArkansasÊ |
| And I worked up the guts to call my Mother-In-LawÊ |
| She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right."Ê |
| "She's workin' four to twelve at Trucker's World tonight." |
| When I walked in she saw me, and she took off her apronÊ |
| And she grabbed her goin' home hatÊ |
| She bought a ticket with her tipsÊ |
| And now we're curled up on the sofa,Ê |
| me and her....and that mean eyed cat |
| Miss you Johnny... |
