I remember the time she used to be mine

But just a little bit later on down the line she said bye bye try not to cry

See you just a little bit later on down the line



See when I was born she was goin' on ten

And on the day that I was to make her mine

She said it's not right so I'm leaving tonight

See you just a little bit later on down the line



She said babe it ain't that I don't love you

It's just that road is long and there's a lot you've got to see

But today I heard it said she got herself wed

They say he looked her age and she looked fine

My one love is gone why was I born just a little bit later on down the line

Just a little bit later on down the line
