Tom: E
E
Well I went to my baby on bended knees
E
Baby, baby, baby, will you marry me?
E
She said: "sorry daddy but what can I say,
N.C.
I found a new love just the other day"
[Chorus]
A
And you're barking up the wrong tree
E
Well, you're barking up the wrong tree
B7
Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree
E
That's what she said to me
[Verse 2]
E
Well I pleaded and begged nearly out of my mind
E
I said: "baby, baby, baby, girls are hard to find"
E
She said: "sorry daddy but try to understand,
N.C.
I'm goin' with the cutest guy in the land"
[Chorus]
A
And you're barking up the wrong tree
E
Well, you're barking up the wrong tree
B7
Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree
E
That's what she said to me
[Verse 3]
E
Now, my heart was broken and it felt so blue
E
I said: "baby, baby, baby, does it mean we're through?"
E
She said: "sorry daddy but can't you take a hint?
N.C.
My guy's got money, more than the mint"
[Chorus]
A
And you're barking up the wrong tree
E
Well, you're barking up the wrong tree
B7
Yes, you're barking up the wrong tree
E
That's what she said to me
[Verse 4]
E
Now my friend told me the other day
E
That my baby, baby, baby, had gone away
E
She took all his money and she left him flat
N.C.
And let me tell you people I'm so glad that
