G C G
Remember you called me a-sobbin' and cryin'
D7
The dog bit your maw and drug her around
G C G
You said she looked pale and thought she was dyin'
D7 G
I said 'Don't worry, I'll buy a new hound.'
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy
D7
Laying around with nothin' to do
G C G
When you went away, you took my cow Bessie
D7 G
I miss her darling, more than I miss you
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
You took off your leg, your wig and eye glasses
D7
And you shoud've seen the look on my face
G C G
I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you
D7 G
But you were scattered all over the place
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing
D7
The proofs hanging out right there on the line
G C G
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing
D7 G
Your nighties hugging them long johns of mine
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
The noises you made at our supper table
D7
Your habits, my dear, were surely absurd
G C G
But how many times do I have to tell you
D7 G
Soup is a dish to be seen and not heard
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
I had six kids and you had eleven
D7
And we had a boy, and they grew like flowers
G C G
I wish you'd come back, without you ain't heaven
D7 G
'Cause your kids and my kids are beatin' up ours
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
I went to your house at three in the morning.
D7
You had all them curlers and junk in your hair.
G C G
You would not have scared me and I'd not have run so,
D7 G
If you had not looked like you'd wrestled a bear.
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
G C G
I told you, my darlin', you looked like a gopher.
D7
Made you so mad, you haven't spoke since.
G C G
But tell me my darling if you ain't got buck teeth.
D7
How do you eat apples through a picket fence?
C G
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
D7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
G C G
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
D7 G
You met another and *pfft* you were gone.
