How's Ernie - Fred Eaglesmith
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 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 No, I don't miss her anymore But I sure do miss her dad
