If you leave me baby And say you won't be back That would be the end of me 'Cause I'd have a heart attack CHORUS: You'd better get some insurance on me baby Take out some insurance on me baby 'Cause if you ever ever say goodbye I'm gonna haul right off and die Darling I will love you As long as I got breath If we should part I know sweetheart It would worry me to death (chorus) You know I love you baby Like I love myself I couldn't live if you should give All your love to someone else (chorus) I haven't heard it in a long time, but I'm pretty sure that's it. It's a typical three-chord song, but not in Jimmy's usual 12-bar pattern. As with all of his songs, it's either in the key of E or A (I think he only owned an A harmonica). This song is on almost every Greatest Hits album of his.
