Oh well, she left me..Oh well, she's left me, she's gone. 
    B                   A                         E    B

A-wearing pearls and diamond necklace..hair like golden-golden sand. 
        B                         A               E   B 
But her ruby-ruby lips, they were kissin' another man.

Well, they tell me that my baby, lives in another town. 

They tell me that she's married and that she's settled down. 
          A                                       E 
Well, I'm happy for my baby..Well, I'm happy, oh, yeah.

Well, I'll just find me another baby..But I'll never settle down. 
                B                     A                     E 
Well, I'll just find me another baby..But I'll never settle down. 
                B                     A                     E 
Well, I'll just find me another baby..But I'll never settle down.
