       I'M A LONG GONE DADDY

Key F       Writer, Hank Williams     1947

(F) All you want'a do is set aroun' and pout,
An' now I got enough an' so I'm gettin' out,
I'm leavin' (Bb) now, I'm leavin' (F) now,
I'm a (C7) long gone daddy I don't need you any-(F) how.

I've been in the doghouse so doggone long,
That when I get a kiss, I think that somethin's wrong,
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now,
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.

I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right,
You go get ya'self a man that wants to fight,
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now,
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.

You start your jaws a'waggin' and they never stop,
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top,
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now,
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.

I remember back when you were nice and sweet,
Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat,
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now,
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.

I'm a'gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train,
I'm takin' ever'thing except my ball and chain,
I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now,
I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow.
