Sad Singin' and Slow Ridin'

Sad Singin' and Slow Ridin' - Jean Shepard

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

If you don't tell me where you been

Well 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 flowers bringing

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 sneaking in
