Now I don`t want to show you the door
[D] Since the day that we met you`ve been [G] nothin` but [D] trouble

Run [G] along run along don`t [D] pester me further
For I [G] know that you`ll never be [D] true
If you can`t treat me right then get [G] out of my [D] life
[D] Oh you stayed by my side till you [G] got all my [D] money

Run [G] along run along don`t you [D] pester me further

Better pack up your suitcase and leave in a hurry
You need to leave immediately
Now I don`t want to show you the door
I don't want to be rude, but you need to go
Since the day that we met you`ve been nothin` but trouble
Ever since I met you, you've been causing problems
Now I don`t want you here anymore
I need you to leave and never come back
Run along run along don`t pester me further
Please go away and leave me alone
For I know that you`ll never be true
I can't count on you to be honest and faithful
If you can`t treat me right then get out of my life
If you can't treat me with respect, then I don't want you in my life
Go and leave me alone with the blues
Please leave me alone to deal with my sadness
Oh you stayed by my side till you got all my money
You were only with me for my money
Now my clothes are all ragged and torn
You've left me in a bad financial situation
Lord I wish I had never been born
I regret ever meeting you
You may ramble and ramble this whole wide world over
You can travel the whole world, but be wary of women
But don`t trust any woman you meet
Be careful not to trust any woman too easily
They won`t leave you alone till they`ve got your last dollar
Women will keep taking from you until you're broke
Then you`re just like the dirt beneath their feet
Once they've taken everything from you, they'll treat you poorly
