[Chorus]
Twang, twang, a-diddle-dang-diddle-dang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang
A-diddle-dang-another dang twang
Another dang twang
Another dang twang

[Verse 1]
I've been married now, for a year or more
And my old guitar hangs by the door
That woman of mine says, "Hock that, Luke
'Cause your mamma dear needs a brand-new suit."
Well, I hocked my watch, and I sold my dog
And I pawned the gasoline stove
I hocked my ring and everything
Just to keep that woman in clothes
I even pawned the cat, and I hocked my boots
And I sold the family car
But that woman o' mine, will be a hundred-and-nine
Before I hock my ole guitar

[Chorus]
Twang, twang, a-diddle-dang-diddle-dang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang
A-diddle-dang-another dang twang
Another dang twang
Another dang twang
[Verse 2]
She went out one day last week, I guess
And she won't come back till I say yes
In answer to her "Hock that, Luke"
My ole guitar for a swimming suit
That'll be the day when I pawn my heart
Like I did the gasoline stove
I hocked my ring and everything
Just to keep that woman in clothes
I even pawned the cat, and I hocked my boots
And I sold the family car
But that woman o' mine will be old and blind
Before I hock my ole guitar

[Chorus]
Twang, twang, a-diddle-dang-ARR-diddle-dang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang
A-diddle-dang-another dang twang
Another dang twang
Another dang twang

[Verse 3]
If she don't come back, I won't be sore
'Cause I don't give a hoot about her no more
A man gets tired, I'll hock that loot
That woman o' mine's too bad to shoot
I hocked my ring and everything
Just to keep that woman in clothes
I even pawned the cat, and I hocked my boots
And I sold the family car
But that woman o' mine will be in a box o' pine
Before I hock my ole guitar
[Chorus]
Twang, twang, a-diddle-dang-ARR-diddle-dang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang
A-diddle-dang-another dang twang
Another dang twang
Another dang twang

[Outro]
(This song ain't over yet!)
Still another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
And another dang twang
