C F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
C G7 C
The next time you come a staggering in
F
There'll be some coffee drinking and some flowers bringing
D7 G7
If you don't tell me where you been
C
Well you pat my cheek and kiss me quick then you go stepping out
F D7 G7
At two when you come dragging in with your shirttail hanging out
C F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
C G7 C
The next time you come a staggering in
F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
C G7 C
The next time you come a staggering in
F
There'll be some coffee drinking and some bouquet bringing
D7 G7
But you don't drink or smell any then
C
When I ask you for a helping hand you look at me alarmed
F D7 G7
You asked me what I thought that was a hanging on your arm
C F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
C G7 C
The next time you come a staggering in
F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
C G7 C
The next time you come a sneaking in
F
There'll be some coffee drinking and some flowers bringing
D7 G7
If you don't tell me where you been
C
Next payday when you cash your check and buy drinks for the crowd
F D7 G7
You better save back just enough to buy yourself a shroud
C F
Cause there'll be sad singing and some slow riding
C G7 C
The next time you come a staggering in
G7 C
The next time you come a staggering in
