Well you left me out in the rain and snow
Well you left me out in the rain and snow
We had a good time woman - then the weather changed and you let go

My mother asked me - my father he told me so
My mother asked me - my father he told me so
My mother said "will you please..." - my father said "you gotta go"

Me and your new man Jack Donahue - we both got separate speeds
Me and your new man Jack Donahue - we both got separate speeds
Well he's got his wants and honey I've got my needs

Last night coming home I saw the wolf traps at my door
Last night coming home I saw the wolf traps at my door
I've got a feeling I ain't gonna see no wolves 'round here no more

Well the expeditions over - they're coming out of the woods
The expeditions over - they're coming out of the woods
Sometimes you can scream all you want and it won't do any good

The world is old now - ain't nothing left but people for hire
The world is old now - ain't nothing left but people for hire
Bootlegger on the corner - he's all sold out of desire

You flew out the door this morning - you had your coat hangin' on
You flew out the door this morning - you had your coat hangin' on
Well goodbye woman if you call it gone
