Verse 1

I WRITE THESE LINES TO TELL YOU THAT I'M SOR-RY I LEFT HOME,
BE-CAUSE I'M ALL A-LONE, WHY DID YOU LET ME ROAM?,
SOME-ONE PUT THE JINX ON ME, I'M UP A-GAINST IT STRONG,
I'M OUT OF WORK AND SO I WROTE A SONG.
THE FIRST VERSE, DEAR, IS VE-RY SWEET,
BE-CAUSE IT SPEAKS OF YOU,
I'M SEND-ING YOU THE CHOR-US, READ IT THRU

Verse 2

THE SEC-OND VERSE IS NOT COM-PLETE, I CAN-NOT RHYME THE PART,
THAT GOES WITH ACH-ING HEART, BUT I WAS NEV-ER SMART.
YOU KNOW THAT THE CHOR-US IS THE PART THAT MUST BE HEARD,
AND NOW I'VE GOT A JOB TO RHYME THAT WORD.
NOW IF THIS SONG SHOULD MAKE A HIT, I'LL MAR-RY YOU IN JUNE,
AND IF IT DON'NT THERE'LL BE NO HON-EY-MOON.

Chorus

MY LIT-TLE GIRL, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU,
AND I LONG FOR YOU EACH DAY.
MY LIT-TLE GIRL, I'M DREAM-ING OF YOU,
THO' YOU'RE MAN-Y MILES A-WAY.
I SEE THE LANE DOWN IN THE WILD-WOOD,
WHERE YOU PROM-ISED TO BE TRUE.
MY LIT-TLE GIRL I KNOW YOU'RE WAIT-ING,
AND I'M COM-ING BACK TO YOU
