I feel so doggone lonely
Today just isn't my day
When I got home this mornin'
I found a letter on my bed

When I opened up that latter
I broke right down and cried
She said, 'Now, daddy I hate to leave you
Oh, yes but I'm in love with another guy'

Oh no, I couldn't believe
I couldn't believe she wrote it
So, I read it over again
An' when I was finished
A-tears stream down like rain

The more I read this doggone letter
The more my poor heart cried
She said, 'Now, daddy I hate to leave you
Oh yeah, but I'm in love with another guy'

My baby, she said, 'Oh yeah'
My baby, she said

My baby, she said

My baby, she said

This what she said
'Now, daddy I hate to leave you
Oh, but I'm in love with another guy'.
