[D] Better pack up your suitcase and [G] leave in a [D] hurry 
Now I don`t want to show you the door
[D] Since the day that we met you`ve been [G] nothin` but [D] trouble
Now I don`t want you [A] here [D] anymore

Run [G] along run along don`t [D] pester me further
For I [G] know that you`ll never be [D] true
If you can`t treat me right then get [G] out of my [D] life
Go and leave me [A] alone with the [D] blues

[D] Oh you stayed by my side till you [G] got all my [D] money
Now my clothes are all ragged and torn
[D] Since the day that we met you`ve been [G] nothin` but [D] worry
Lord I wish I had [A] never been [D] born

Run [G] along run along don`t you [D] pester me further
I [G] know that you`ll never be [D] true
If you can`t treat me right then get [G] out of my [D] life
Go and leave me [A] alone with these [D] blues

[D] You may ramble and ramble this [G] whole wide world [D] over 
But don`t trust any woman you meet
[D] They won`t leave you alone till they`ve [G] got your last [D] dollar
Then you`re just like the [A] dirt beneath their [D] feet

Run [G] along run along don`t you [D] pester me further
For [G] I know that you`ll never be [D] true
If you can`t treat me right then get [G] out of my [D] life
Go and leave me [A] alone with these [D] blues
