groceries, and don't spe nd no more." But she paid ten d ollars for a ten cent hat
A7 B7
And bought some store bought cat food for that mean eyed cat.

B7 E
thing on her side of the bed I found a l ittle old note where her head belonged It
A7 B7
said, "Dear Jo hn, honey, baby, I'm long gon e."

I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there I told him all about
