Well my pretty baby just left me this morning
F C
Said she didn't wanna see me no more
Told me not to call her on the telephone
D7 G7
And never come a-knocking on her door
C
Well I fumed and I fussed and I might have cried a little
F C
My head went a-spinning around
F C
But with a little bit of luck and my little black book
G7 C
I'll have another'n before the sun goes down
What my baby didn't know was the same thing happened
F C
Not once but a half a dozen times
And she didn't realize that with a telephone call
D7 G7
I'd have another fickle chicken on the line
C
But every time I leave I do my best to play the part
F C
Of the lovesick heart broke clown
F C
But with a little bit of luck and my little black book
G7 C
I'll have another'n before the sun goes down
Now I haven't got a thing against a pretty little woman
F C
Like her walk and her talk and her smile
I've been liking pretty girls since I found they wasn't boys
D7 G7
And let me tell ya buddy that's been quite a while
C
I like the hugging and the squeezing and the kissing and the teasing
F C
But don't you let 'em push me around
F C
'Cause with a little bit of luck and my little black book
G7 C
I'll have another'n before the sun goes down
Now that little girl's out a-telling everybody
F C
How she made a big fool out of me
But while I'm out tonight a-romping and a-stomping
D7 G7
She'll be watching Dr. Casey on TV
C
So girls let me tell ya better do a little thinking
F C
'Fore you tell your loving man to leave town
F C
'Cause with a little bit of luck and a little black book
G7 C
He'll get another'n before the sun goes down
F C
'Cause with a little bit of luck and a little black book
G7 C
He'll get another'n before the sun goes down
