I Won't Be Home No More

(Hank Williams)



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

I tried to but I couldn't wait

And now I've got another date

And I won't be home no more.



You're just in time to miss the boat

So don't take off your hat and coat

Be on your way that's all she wrote

I won't be home no more.



I hung around a month or two

And waited for your call

Now, I'm too busy pitchin' woo

Come around next fall.



I scratched your name right off my slate

And hung a sign on my front gate

You're just in time to be too late

And I won't be home no more.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, you're just in time to turn around

And head 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

I won't be home no more.



I used to be the patient and kind

Believed each alibi

That's all done, I've changed my mind

I've got new fish to fry.



You're just in time to celebrate

The thing you didn't calculate

You're just in time to be too late

And I won't be home no more...
