Verse.. She went one day last week I guess 
        And she won't come back until I say yes 
        In answer to her "Hock that Luke!" 
        My old guitar for a swimming suit 
 
Refrain...      Well that'll be the day when I pawn my heart 
                Like a pawned a gasoline stove 
                I hocked my ring and everything  
                Just to keep that woman in clothes 
                I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots 
                And I sold the family car 
                But that woman o' mine will be a hundred & nine 
                Before I hock my old guitar.

Verse.. Well if she don't come back no I won't be sore 
        'Cause I don't give a hoot about her no more 
        A man get's tired of "Hock that Luke!" 
        That woman of mine's too bad to suit 
 
Refrain..       Well I hocked my watch & I sold a dog 
                And I pawned a gasoline stove 
                I hocked my ring & everything  
                Just to keep that woman in clothes 
                I even pawned a cat & I hocked my boots 
                And I sold the family car 
                But that woman o' mine will be in a box of pine 
                Before I hock my old guitar.
