Verso 1:
D                                         
Well, you're just in time to be too late 
I tried to but I couldn't wait 
    A                                     
And now I 've got another date
                      D                    
So I won't be home no more 
You're just in time to miss the boat 
So don't take off your hat and coat     
A Be on your way, that's all she wrote 
                          D               
'Cause I won't be home no more. 
 
Ponte 1:
  G                                       
I stood around a month or two 
And waited for your call 
    D                                     
Now I 'm too busy pitchin' woo 
                    A                     
So come around next fall 
  D                                       
I scratched your name right off my slate 
And hung a sign on my front gate 
       A                                  
You're just in time to be too late 
                       D                 
And I won't be home no more. 
 
Verso 2:
Well, you're just in time to turn around 
And drive your buggy back to town 
You looked me up I turned you down 
And I won't be home no more 
You're just in time to change your tune 
Go tell your troubles to the moon 
And call around next May or June 
'Cause I won't be home no more. 
  
Ponte 2:
I used to be the patient kind 
Believed each alibi 
But that's all done, I 've changed my mind 
I 've got new fish to fry 
Well, you're just in time to celebrate  
The things you didn't calculate 
You're just in time to be too late 
And I won't be home no more.
