Well when I woke up this morning there was a note upon my door
Said don't make me no coffee babe because I won't be home no more
And that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home

Now my gal's short and stubby strong as she can be
But if that little old gal of mine ever gets a hold on me
Well that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home

Now Jonah got along in the belly of a whale Daniel in the lion's den
But I know a guy who didn't try to get along and he won't get a chance again
Well that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home

I went down to the bank this morning and the cashier said with a grin
I feel so sorry for you Skeet but your wife has done been in
And that's all she wrote (dear John) I've sent your saddle home
And that's all she wrote (dear John I've sent your saddle home)
