There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
The next time you come a staggering in
There'll be some coffee drinking and some flowers bringing
And if you don't tell me where you been

You pat my cheek and kiss me quick then you go stepping out
At two when you come dragging in with your shirttail hanging out
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
The next time you come a staggering in

There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
The next time you come a staggering in
There'll be some coffee drinking and some bouquet bringing
And if you don't tell me where you been

Next payday when you cash your check and buy drinks for the crowd
You better save back just enough to buy yourself a shroud
'Cause there'll be sad singing and some slow riding
The next time you come a staggering in

There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
The next time you come a staggering in
There'll be some coffee drinking and some flowers bringing
But you don't drink or smell any then

When I ask you for a helping hand you look at me alarmed
You asked me what I thought that was a hanging on your arm
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
The next time you come a staggering in

The next time you come a staggering in
