Verse	Well I been married now for a year or more 
               G7               C
	And my old guitar hangs by the door
             F                  C
	That woman of mine says hock that Luke
                   G7                 F          C
	Cause your mamma dear needs a brand new suit




                       C
Refrain		Well I hocked my watxh and I sold a dog 
                                          G7
		And I pawned a gasoline stove

		I hocked my ring & everything 
                                             C 
		Just to keep that woman in clothes

		I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots
                                      G7
		And I sold the family car
                         F                       C
		But that woman o' mine will be a hundred & nine
                         G7      F      C 
		Before I hock my old guitar.


Cho...


Verse..	She went one day last week I guess
	And she won't come back until I say yes
	In answer to her "Hock that Luke!"
	My old guitar for a swimming suit


Refrain...	Well that'll be the day when I pawn my heart
		Like a pawned a gasoline stove
		I hocked my ring and everything 
		Just to keep that woman in clothes
		I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots
		And I sold the family car
		But that woman o' mine will be a hundred & nine
		Before I hock my old guitar.


Cho...


Verse..	Well if she don't come back no I won't be sore
	'Cause I don't give a hoot about her no more
	A man get's tired of "Hock that Luke!"
	That woman of mine's too bad to suit

Refrain..	Well I hocked my watch & I sold a dog
		And I pawned a gasoline stove
		I hocked my ring & everything 
		Just to keep that woman in clothes
		I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots
		And I sold the family car
		But that woman o' mine will be in a box of pine
		Before I hock my old guitar.


Cho...


This song's not over yet, there's still another dang twang


And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
