I've got a good mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
Got a good mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone
Oh, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, Baby
That was in your place in bed
When I read your letter this morning, Baby
That was in your place in bed
That's when I decided
Oh, that I would be better off dead
That letter read, it's no use you looking for me, Baby
Or ever hoping to get me back
No use, no use you looking for me, Baby
Or ever hoping to get me back
because it's all over now, Baby
Baby, and you can bet on that
That's why I got a good mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
Hey, a good mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone
Hey, and be pronounced dead
