Well when I woke up this morning there was a note upon my door Said don't make me no coffee babe because I won't be home no more And that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home Now my gal's short and stubby strong as she can be But if that little old gal of mine ever gets a hold on me Well that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home [ guitar ] Now Jonah got along in the belly of a whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a guy who didn't try to get along and he won't get a chance again Well that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home I went down to the bank this morning and the cashier said with a grin I feel so sorry for you Skeet but your wife has done been in And that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home And that's all she wrote (dear John I've sent your saddle home)
