Lyrics
- I wonder what’s the matter with my man
There’s something ’bout him I can’t understand
Sometimes I sigh, sometimes I cry
I get so blue I wish that I could die
I gave him all the lovin’ that I had
His doggone ways they sure do make me mad
I am sick and tired of his hangin’ ’round
So to him I’m gonna say
Chorus
Get your satchel packed and don’t come back
To even say ‘goodbye’
No more excuses can you make to me
Listen and I’ll tell you why
Once I was wild about you-oo
Now your brand of livin’ won’t do
To protect your health don’t even look back
Go an’ get your satchel packed
- I used to think he was the only man
He found it out, my troubles then he began
I used to smile most all the while
I guess my lovin’ ways are out of style
Maybe he’s got himself another gal
Who calls him “Honey sweetie,” calls him “Pal”
He doesn’t know it but he’s on his way
I’ll surprise him when I say
