Down here on the farm the weather gets messy
Laying around with nothing to do
When you went away you took my cow Bessie
I miss her darling more than I miss you
You took off your leg your wig and your eyeglass
And you should've seen the look on my face
I wanted to kiss I wanted to hug you
But you were scattered all over the place
Where oh where are you tonight
Why did you leave me here all alone
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love
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
Repeat #3
Remember you phoned me a-sobbing and crying
The dog bit your ma 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 more and they grew like flowers
I wish you'd come back without you ain't heaven
Cause your kids and my kids are beating up ours
Repeat #3
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love
You met another and phht you were gone
