A GOODBYE JOKE

WRITERS EARL AND MELBA MONTGOMERY, GEORGE JONES

No, she not gone forever

She's just playing one of her games

And tonight when I get home

Everything will be the same.

'Cause when I woke up this morning

Yes, I found her goodbye note

It just a game she's plays

It just a goodbye joke.

She's just goin' downtown shopping

She'll bring me back some sporty clothes

'Cause I'm always on her mind

No matter where she plans to go.

If I thought she was gone forever

Lord, I'd find me a hangin' rope

That's why I'm drifting now

It's just a goodbye joke.

Ain't it funny the sense of humor

A woman can have sometimes

Especially that lovely woman of mine.

Hey, bartender won't you bring me a drink

'Cause I still like ???

On the words she wrote

In her little goodbye joke...
