I'll Be Doggone (Live in Montreux 1980)

[Verse 1]

Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day (Baby)

And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay (Baby)

But if I ever caught you running around

Blowing my money all over this town

[Chorus]

Then I wouldn't be doggone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone

(I'd be long gone)

Oh baby, I wouldn't be doggone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone

(I'd be long gone)

[Verse 2]

Well, yeah, yeah

I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing (Baby)

And I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring (Baby)

Oh, if we live to be a hundred years old

If you ever let that spring turn cold

[Chorus]

Then I wouldn't be doggone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone, oh baby

(I'd be long gone)

Well, I wouldn't be doggone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone

(I'd be long gone)

Yes, I would, baby, hey hey

[Bridge]

What'd I say, baby?

Ah yeah, woo, look

Every woman should try to be

Whatever has man wants her to be

And I don't want much

All I want from you is for you to be true to me

Every woman should try to be

Whatever has man wants her to be

Lord, I don't want much

All I want from you is for you to be true to me

[Verse 3]

I'll be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend (Baby)

And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end, ah (Baby)

Oh, if I live to be a hundred years old

If you ever let that spring turn cold

[Chorus]

I wouldn't be doggone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone, somewhere down the road

(I'd be long gone)

I wouldn't be doggone, baby

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone, like my daddy, baby

(I'd be long gone)

Oh, I'd be long gone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be leaving, baby

(I'd be long gone)

Oh, oh

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

Oh, ooh, Lordy, baby

(I'd be long gone)

I'd be doggone

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone

(I'd be long gone)

I wouldn't be doggone, baby

(Wouldn't be, wouldn't be doggone)

I'd be long gone, ow

(I'd be long gone)
