    G                                     Am
He told her he couldn't make it home for dinner,
          C                                  G
He'd be working late at the Wolf Creek Mine again.
                                        Am
But she followed him to Kermit, West Virginia,
         C                                    G
Watched him park his car behind the Teardrop Inn.

She cried "Bobby, I'll always love you,

I would have stood by you until the end,
               Am   C              G
But I'd rather see a cold stone above you,
                Am               C                    G
Than to see you in the arms of Tina, at the Teardrop Inn."

She said "Say your prayers, and have yourself a cold one,
       C                                    G
Watch this Smith and Wesson, shaking in my hand.
                                                Am
There won't be no cold Budweisers where you're going,
         C                               G
They'll be Tina, they'll be no Teardrop Inn.
