Well she's been gone, many days now,
She's been gone, quite some time.
It ain't the same, it never will be,
Since I lost, that girl of mine.
I stayed too long, by the river,
I stayed too long, there's no doubt.
I took a chance, was pretty risky,
When I came back, I found out.
Oh girl of mine, come back to me,
Girl of mine, come back please.
Girl of mine, come back to me,
Can't you see I'm on my knees.
