"How Come It" lyrics

Well, when I left the house, I told her stay where you are
Papa gonna buy you a brand new car
Buy you pretty clothes and everything
I might even buy you a diamond ring

Well I heard her whisper as I walked away
"I knew that he was gonna fall someday"
I never could quite figure out
I just didn't know what she was talkin' about

Dadgummit, how come it
How come it, dadgummit
You done it, how come it
How come it, dadgummit
Dadgummit, how come it
Well, you a leaving me alone like this

Well, I'm standin' on the corner with a bottle in my hand
Havin' more fun that any man
'Long came a woman, drivin' up to my side
Said, "come on daddy, let's take a ride"

I tried to kiss her by the railroad track
She made me walk every step a way back

Dadgummit, how come it, woo
How come it, dadgummit, yeah
How come it, dadgummit, well
How come it, you done it
How come it, dadgummit
Well, you leaving me alone like this

Well, how come it, dadgummit, woo
You done it, how come it
Dadgummit, you done it
How come it, dadgummit
Dadgummit, how come it
Well, you leaving me alone like this
