There was a girl back in my town

But I shouldn't bring up what I can't put down

She was above reproach in everyway

One day I left the town I'm from

And as hard as I tried she would not come along

She left me alone in everyway



People are laughing and they're having such fun

I wish it was happening to me

This is the moonlight

The very same moonlight so how happy can I be



Now I'm alone and I'm at large

What kind of fool puts me in charge

God it's a lonely way I'm living these days

There was a girl back in my town

That I couldn't get over she won't come ‘round

You know she left me alone in every way
