     E                    A            E
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy
E                             B7
Laying around with nothin' to do
     E                  A           E 
When you went away, you took my cow Bessie
E                        B7          E
I miss her darling, more than I miss you
    E                       A            E
You took off your leg, your wig and your eyeglass
    E                                B7 
And you shoud've seen the look on my face
  E                 A         E 
I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you
    E                      B7       E
But you were scattered all over the place


Chorus:
A                       E 
Where, where, are you tonight?
E                              B7
Why did you leave me here all alone?
  E                             A               E 
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love
E                   B7             E
You met another and Phht! you were gone.


I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing
The proofs hanging out right there on the line
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing
Your nighties hugging them long johns of mine
The noises you made at our supper table
Your habits, my dear, were surely absurd
But how many times do I have to tell you
Soup is a dish to be seen and not heard

Chorus

Remember you phoned me a-sobbin' and cryin'
The dog bit your maw, and drug her around
You said she looked pale and thought she was dying
I said "Don't worry, I'll buy a new hound."
I had six kids and you had eleven
And we had a boy, and they grew like flowers
I wish you'd come back, without you ain't heaven
'Cause your kids and my kids are beatin' up ours

Chorus

I searched the world over, 
And thought I found true love.
You met another and 
Phht! you were gone...
