I know you′ve been away
For such a long, long time
But still my heart cries for you
You're always on my mind
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?
I always tried to do right
No matter where I go
But since that girl′s been gone
I can't think straight no more
Why did she leave?
Why did she leave?
Oh, why did she go?
No matter where I travel
Got to be all by myself
I start crying for my baby
And wondering why she left
Why did she leave?
Why did she leave?
Oh, why did she go?
