Written and recorded by Hank Williams (Sr.) . Well, you're just in time to be too late I tried to but I couldn't wait And now I 've got another date 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 Be on your way, that's all she wrote 'Cause I won't be home no more. 1st Bridge I stood around a month or two And waited for your call Now I 'm too busy pitchin' woo So come around next fall I scratched your name right off my slate And hung a sign on my front gate You're just in time to be too late And I won't be home no more. 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. 2nd Bridge 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.
