I ain't gonna work tomorrow
   Ain't gonna work today
   Ain't gonna work tomorrow, lord
   For that is my wedding day

I love my mama and papa too
I love my mama and papa too
I love my mama and papa too
But I'd leave them both to go with you

I've been all around this country
I've been all around this world
I've been all around this country, lord
For the sake of one little girl

I'm leaving you this lonesome song
I'm leaving you this lonesome song
I'm leaving you this lonesome song
Cause I'm gonna be gone before long
