You ask me why I'm grieving
I'll tell you why I'm grieving
I'm grieving for the gal that done me wrong
Well gather round and listen
And let this be a lesson
You shouldn't never leave your gal too long
Cause I left her her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
Well I guess she didn't care too much for me
Cause I heard that she was wed
And I wish that I was dead
But the chances are I'll live 'til 93
The bullfrog tried to show me
Just why this gal was roamy
If I should go and lеave her by hersеlf
Well I just said you're crazy
That gal of mine's a daisy
But now she's gone and put me on the shelf
Oh I left her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
About the night I thought she’d be my bride
But when I got out of sight
Oh she didn't miss a night
Til someone else was a sitting by her side
If you think this song is silly
Go right ahead and laugh
But the heart in this hillbilly is busted right in half
Cause I left her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care too much for me
When she said goodbye she whispered
"You know I love you best"
And I'll bet two bucks she'll whisper
The same to all the rest
But I left her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care too much for me
