Sad Singing And Slow Riding
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Curley Fox and Texas Ruby

C                                F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
    C                    G7         C
The next time you come a staggering in
                                          F
There'll be some coffee drinking and some flowers bringing
D7                             G7
If you don't tell me where you been

         C
Well you pat my cheek and kiss me quick then you go stepping out
F                                     D7                     G7
At two when you come dragging in with your shirttail hanging out
                 C                    F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
    C                    G7         C
The next time you come a staggering in

                                      F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
    C                    G7         C
The next time you come a staggering in
                                          F
There'll be some coffee drinking and some bouquet bringing
D7                               G7
But you don't drink or smell any then

       C
When I ask you for a helping hand you look at me alarmed
F                                      D7              G7
You asked me what I thought that was a hanging on your arm
                 C                    F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
    C                    G7         C
The next time you come a staggering in

                                      F
There'll be some sad singing and some slow riding
    C                  G7         C
The next time you come a sneaking in
                                          F
There'll be some coffee drinking and some flowers bringing
D7                             G7
If you don't tell me where you been

        C
Next payday when you cash your check and buy drinks for the crowd
F                                   D7             G7
You better save back just enough to buy yourself a shroud
                  C                    F
Cause there'll be sad singing and some slow riding
    C                    G7         C
The next time you come a staggering in

                         G7         C
The next time you come a staggering in
