Lyrics
Chorus:
You cert’nly picked a bad day out to say goodbye
When meat and groc’ries are mighty high
You had to wait till there were many things to buy
You better take one long last look at your honey
When you leave me
I’m goin’ to crawl away and lay right down and die
And when my ghost comes back to you
You’re goin’ to turn red, white and blue
‘Cause you picked this bad day out to say goodbye
