HI...well, it's too late for the past Friday night...maybe you can use this version by Archie Campbell another time.

Tho' noted primarily for his story telling ability...old Archie occasionally sang a ditty or two....I stumbled across this old LP while searching for something else tonight.

PFFT! YOU WAS GONE
Recorded by Archie Campbell
Words and music by Lee Roberts

CAPO: 2nd FRET/KEY: E/PLAY: D

INTRO: You [G] met an-[D] other and [A7] Pfft! You Was [D] Gone.

CHORUS
[G] Where, oh where [D] are you tonight?
Why did you leave me [E] here all a-[A7] lone
I [D] searched the world over and I [G] thought I'd found [D] true love
You [G] met an-[D] other and [A7] Pfft! You Was [D] Gone.

(Spoken)
Lord, I'll never forget the first time I saw her
Boy, was she a girl!
That's what ev'rybody kept askin' me;
"Was she a girl?"
'Course she had ev'rything a man would want
Muscles, Mustache!

[D] I miss you so much, the [G] 'taters need [D] diggin'
The corn in the field, it [E] needs pickin' [A7] now
How [D] well I remember the [G] first time I [D] met you
You [G] looked so [D] purty a-[A7] pullin' that [D] plow.

CHORUS

(Spoken)
I'll tell you one thing
She had the most beautiful hair a-hangin' down her back
None on her head, jist on her back
I'll tell you one thing
I love the ground her daddy struck oil on.

Your lips are as red as boysenberries
Your ears look like a big cabbage leaf
Your eyes bug out like an old pop-eyed Mullet
Your hair is like haywire and it hangs to your feet.

CHORUS

(Spoken)
Tell you one thing, she's got a fine figure
She's got a HI-FI phonographic figure
Forty-five, seventy-eight, thirty-three and a third
Only trouble is, she's got a long-play tongue.

I thought that my love was all you wanted
I thought that my money meant nothing to you
I thought that the hogs would stay in the hog-pen
That's what I thought, dear, but you took them all.

CHORUS
