Bob Doss - Don't Be Gone Long

DON'T BE GONE LONG
(B. Doss - H. Harris)
BOB DOSS (STARDAY 45-265, 1956)

Well, you make me sad and you make me blue
You make me cry and you make me true
When you go out, you take too much time
Baby, gonna make me lose my mind

Don't you be gone long
Don't be gone long
Don't be gone long
Or your dog will find another bone

Well, I'm stayin' in my room till my energy's gone
I ain't got a cent to pick up the phone
You can go to the corner for a loaf of bread
Just you remember what I said

Don't be gone long
Don't be gone long
Don't be gone long
Or your dog will find another bone

Well, you told me when you walked out the door
That you'd be back at quarter to four
The clock don't lie baby, and I can't wait
Baby, you better come through that gate

Don't you be gone long
Don't be gone long
Don't be gone long
Or your dog will find another bone

Let's rock dog!

Don't be gone long
Don't be gone long
Don't be gone long
Or your dog will find another bone
