 Darling, darling, darling dear

 You left me on the hottest day

 Oh darling, darling, darling dear

 You left me on the hottest day

 I gave up on whiskey and beer

 Better, no

 I gave up on whiskey and beer

 And am I happier, no

 I tried my best to be good to you

 Could be better though

 I tried my best to be good to you

 But when I tried I tried, oh Lord I tried...

 Still darling, darling, darling dear

 You left me on the hottest day

 Oh darling, darling, darling dear

 You left me on the hottest day

 I'll take these rosy cheeks of mine

 Be headed out

 I'll take these rosy cheeks of mine

 And be headed south

 Cause I've got two hundred dollar bills of mine

 To be headed out

 I think I'll get as far as New Orleans

 To be swallowed whole

 Find me the rockiest bank

 Find me the muddiest shore

 Thats where I'll go to get lost

 Won't cause you no trouble no more

 Won't cause you no trouble no more (x2)
