[C]
[F] Well, when I woke up this morning, there was a note up on my door
Said, don't make me no coffee, babe, cause I won't be back no more
And that's all she wrote
[C] I've sent your [F] saddle home
Now, Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lion's den
But I know a guy that didn't try to get along
And he won't get a chance again
And that's all she wrote
[C] I've fetched your saddle home
[F] Now, she didn't forward no address
Nor she didn't say goodbye
All she said was, if you get blue, just hang your little head and cry
And that's all she wrote
[C] I've sent your [F] saddle home
Now, my gal's short and stubby
She's strong as she can be
But if that little old gal of mine
Ever gets a hold of me
That's all she wrote
[C] I've sent your [F] saddle home
[C]
[F] Now, Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lion's den
But I know a man that didn't try to get along
And he won't get a chance again
And that's all she wrote
[C] I've fetched your [F] saddle home
Now, I went down to the bank this morning
The cashier said with a grin
I feel so sorry for you, Hank
But your wife is done been in
And that's all she wrote
[C] I've sent your saddle [F] home
[N]
