I feel so doggone lonely
Today just isn't my day
When I got home this mornin'
I found a letter on my bed
When I opened up that latter
I broke right down and cried
She said, 'Now, daddy I hate to leave you
Oh, yes but I'm in love with another guy'
Oh no, I couldn't believe
I couldn't believe she wrote it
So, I read it over again
An' when I was finished
A-tears stream down like rain
The more I read this doggone letter
The more my poor heart cried
She said, 'Now, daddy I hate to leave you
Oh yeah, but I'm in love with another guy'
My baby, she said, 'Oh yeah'
My baby, she said
My baby, she said
My baby, she said
This what she said
'Now, daddy I hate to leave you
Oh, but I'm in love with another guy'.
