[VERSE]
Well [C]I don't miss her anymore, the [F]way that I used [C]to.
Was a [C]time when my heart was broke, but [G]somehow I got through.
Still, her [C]father became my best friend, [F]that's one thing for [C]sure.
[C]Funny how I miss him, a [G]lot more than [C]her.
[CHORUS]
"How's [Am]Ernie?", hey [F]that's what I would [C]say,
If I [C]wrote her a letter or I [G]called her up one day.
"How's [Am]Ernie?" You know it [F]ended up real [C]bad.
But [C]I don't miss her anymore, though I [G]sure do miss her [C]dad.
[VERSE]
He wa[C]s kind of deaf in one ear, so I'd[F] kind of have to sh[C]out.
We'd t[C]alk guns and horses 't[G]il the lights went out.
Why, we[C]'d stay up 'til midnight, drinking [F]whisky and wat[C]er,
[C]And he'd pretend not to know I was s[G]leeping with his dau[C]ghter.
[CHORUS]
But [Am]I was young and foolish. [F]How was I to [C]know
Hey, the [C]price I'd for my mistakes was to [G]up and watch her go?
And [C]I don't mind that she went and done what I [F]guess she had to [C]do.
No, [C]I don't mind, but I wonder why she [G]had to take him [C]too!
[CHORUS]
But [C]I don't miss her anymore, though I [G]sure do miss her [C]dad.
