Merle Haggard Like A Train That Left the Tramp Lyrics

I thought I had her wrapped around my finger,
Hey, I really thought I had this lady snowed
I thought I had her wear it when I told her I was married
And the kids and my ex-wife lived down the road.
Well I had myself believing I was king of the camp
But she left me like a train left the tramp.

She dropped me like a well-known hot potato
Set sail and left me standing on the shore
I had myself a really hot tomato
Then she walked out and slammed the kitchen door.
She took everything I had 'cept my ole guitar and my amp
But she left me like a train left the tramp.

Instrumental................

She left me like the freight train left the hobo
Standing, staring down that railroad track
Left me squealing like the fiddle and the dobro
She was never ever coming back.
She took everything I had 'cept my ole guitar and my amp
Then left me like a train left the tramp.

she left me like a train left the tramp
she left me like a train left the tramp

.........GOOD-BYE!...................
