Album: Honky Tonkin'

I WON'T BE HOME NO MORE Lyrics

Written and recorded by Hank Williams (Sr.)

Capo on 1st Fret.

[D] Well, you're just in time to be too late

I tried to but I couldn't wait

And [A] now I 've got another date

So I won't be home no [D] more

You're just in time to miss the boat

So don't take off your hat and coat

[A] Be on your way, that's all she wrote

'Cause I won't be home no [D] more.

1st Bridge

I [G] stood around a month or two

And waited for your call

Now [D] I 'm too busy pitchin' woo

So come around next [A] fall

I [D] scratched your name right off my slate

And hung a sign on my front gate

You're [A] just in time to be too late

And I won't be home no [D] more.

Well, you're just in time to turn around

And drive your buggy back to town

You looked me up I turned you down

And I won't be home no more

You're just in time to change your tune

Go tell your troubles to the moon

And call around next May or June

'Cause I won't be home no more.

2nd Bridge

I used to be the patient kind

Believed each alibi

But that's all done, I 've changed my mind

I 've got new fish to fry

Well, you're just in time to celebrate 

The things you didn't calculate

You're just in time to be too late

And I won't be home no more.
