Baby, go down to the drugstore, buy me a guitar string
And be sure to wear your coat, girl, 'cause it might rain
'Cause honey, you know that rain is bad for my guitar strings

Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song

Baby, I've tried your doctors, they just couldn't make me well
The higher I tried to climb, the further I fell
Guess it must have blew my mind sniffing the fumes of Hell

Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
You're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song

Baby, throw away my pillow just before you turn the light
All you'll have next to you now will be the night
I'll be somewhere wrong, you'll be somewhere right

Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight
Put on the one that's warm and long
You're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song
