As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1966 Album THE STREETS OF BALTIMORE) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
I thought I'd like to lead the bachelor life for a while

      F
Live alone and have some fun

                                      G7
So I told her to take the kids and go back to her mama

                           C
(That's how I wanted it to be) and I felt satisfied it was done
[Chorus]
  F                            C
I wake up every morning make myself a cup of Jay

G7                         C
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day

F                                       C
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free

G7                        C   C7
That's how I wanted it to be
[Verse 2]
C7                                  F
Well it didn't take me long to find out just how much I needed her

           C
So I wrote and told her to take the kids

                                  G7
And come on back home cause I was ready to settle down now

C
Well you see I just got her letter today

       F                                                     G7
And it seems she's found someone else someone she can depend on

                           C
(That's how I wanted it to be) and she ain't comin' home no more
[Chorus]
  F                            C
I wake up every morning make myself a cup of Jay

G7                         C
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day

F                                       C
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free

G7                        C
That's how I wanted it to be

G7                        C
That's how I wanted it to be
