I’ll Be Doggone – Albert King (originally by Marvin Gaye)

Well, I’ll be doggone if I would work all day And I’ll be doggone if I would bring you my pay But if I ever caught you running around Blowing my money all over this town Then I wouldn’t be doggone Hey, hey! I’d be long gone Then I wouldn’t be doggone (baby!) I’d be long gone, mm mm Now, hey, hey, hey
I’ll be doggone if you ain’t a pretty thing And I’ll be doggone if you ain’t warm as a breath of spring And if we live to be a hundred year old If you ever let that spring turn cold Then I wouldn’t be doggone Hey, hey, hey! I’d be long gone Oh, I wouldn’t be doggone (baby) I’d be long gone, mm mm Now, did you hear me? Well, now, what I say oh, believe me
Well, ev’ry woman should try to be whatever her man wants her to be And I don’t want much, all I want from you is for you to be true to me
I’ll be doggone if love ain’t a man’s best friend Oh, baby, and I’ll be doggone if you ain’t the loving end Though I know you make me feel like nobody could If I ever found out that you’re no good Then I wouldn’t be doggone Well, I wouldn’t be doggone (baby!) I’d be long gone I wouldn’t be doggone (Gonna catch me a train) Naw, baby, I wouldn’t be doggone I wouldn’t be doggone (Gonna catch me a plane)
