Darling, darling, darling dear
You left me on the hottest day
Oh darling, darling, darling dear
You left me on the hottest day
I gave up on whiskey and beer
Better, no
I gave up on whiskey and beer
And am I happier, no
I tried my best to be good to you
Could be better though
I tried my best to be good to you
But when I tried I tried, oh Lord I tried...
Still darling, darling, darling dear
You left me on the hottest day
Oh darling, darling, darling dear
You left me on the hottest day
I'll take these rosy cheeks of mine
Be headed out
I'll take these rosy cheeks of mine
And be headed south
Cause I've got two hundred dollar bills of mine
To be headed out
I think I'll get as far as New Orleans
To be swallowed whole
Find me the rockiest bank
Find me the muddiest shore
Thats where I'll go to get lost
Won't cause you no trouble no more
Won't cause you no trouble no more (x2)
