Well, I don't miss her anymore the way that I used to
|
Was a time when my heart was broke
|
Somehow I got through
|
Still, her father became my best friend
|
That's one thing for sure
|
Funny how I miss him
|
A lot more than her
|
How's Ernie
|
Hey, that's what I would say
|
If I wrote her a letter
|
Or called her up one day
|
How's Ernie
|
You know it ended up real bad
|
But I don't miss her anymore
|
Though I sure do miss her dad
|
He was kind of deaf in one ear
|
So I'd kind of have to shout
|
We'd talk guns and horses
|
'Till the lights went out
|
Why, we'd sit up 'till midnight drinkin'
|
Whiskey and water
|
And he'd pretend not to know
|
I was sleeping with his daughter
|
How's Ernie
|
Hey, that's what I would say
|
If I wrote her a letter
|
Or called her up one day
|
How's Ernie
|
You know it ended up real bad
|
But I don't miss her anymore
|
But I sure do miss her dad
|
But I was young and foolish
|
How was I to know
|
Hey, the price I paid for my mistakes
|
Was to up and watch her go
|
And I don't mind that she went and done
|
What I guess she had to do
|
No, I don't mind but I wonder why
|
She had to take him too
|
How's Ernie
|
Hey, that's what I would say

How's Ernie

You know it ended up real bad
|
But I don't miss her anymore
|
But I sure do miss her dad
|
No, I don't miss her anymore
|
But I sure do miss her dad
