Why do I cry? Why do I sigh?
Why, oh baby, tell me why
Why do you stray?
Just go night and day
Why, oh baby, tell me why?

Please hear my plea
Bring it on home to me
So tired of misery

Cryin' like a child
Oh, tears runnin' wild
But I won't worry I know
Things will change somehow

Goodbye, is what I'll say
Hope to meet again someday
But right now, babe, little girl
I'm on my way
