I'LL GET ALONG SOMEHOW
As recorded by Ernest Tubb and his Texas Troubadours, 1940. (Decca 5825)

1. Many months have come and gone
Since you called me on the phone
To tell me that we were through.
You thought it'd break my heart,
But I fooled you from the start
'Cause I never did trust you.

2. Well, you'd thought you're mighty wise
To run around with other guys
And still saying you were mine.
While you had one or two,
I had a dozen more than you,
So you got the fooling that time.

3. Oh, let it rain and let it snow.
I don't care, oh, no, no, no.
I'll never worry now.
You're the one that was unfair.
Wasn't in you to play square.
I'll get along somehow.

4. So you keep goin' your way.
I'll keep traveling mine.
At the end, you'll need a friend.
You'll be the one to sit and pine.
So let it rain and let it snow.
I don't care, oh, no, no, no.
I'll get along somehow.

[Also recorded by Jack Guthrie, Hankshaw Hawkins, and the Osborne Brothers.]
