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 To be 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)
