[Intro: Lee Hazlewood]
Sometimes a man and a woman spends thirty or forty years together
And they don't belong together
And then one day, one of them tries to leave
And does but in a most peculiar way
[Verse 1: Lee Hazlewood]
Woman, one of these days I'm (leaving)
Leaving you far behind
And on that day you'll be (grieving)
Grieve on, woman, I don't mind
Look out in the backyard (Mama)
Cause I'm leaving you real soon
Gonna fly me up to (heaven)
In my big red balloon
[Hook: Nancy Sinatra]
You're nothing but an old fool
And that's all you'll ever be
You're nothing but an old fool
You know you'll never beat me
So stop your silly playing
It's time you settled down
And hear me when I'm saying
You'll never get that damn thing off the ground
