C                                 F
Don’t stay too long cause I’m too lonesome

               G7                 C
Don’t stay too long cause I’m too blue

                            F
When you’re away I’m so downhearted 

               G7                C
Don’t stay too long cause I love you

 
                            F
When you are here I’m so contented 

            G7           C
Each minute is a joy for me

                                F
But when you go my heart starts crying

           G7               C
My darling want you heed my plea

 
                                F
Your letters come but still I’m lonely

              G7             C
Cause letters can’t erase my tears

                                F
In dreams I have my arms around you

             G7                   C
The days and nights now seem like years

 
                              F
I’ll walk the floor and think about you

             G7              C
I just can’t find a thing to do

                                 F
But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure

            G7                 C
I can’t get by if I can’t have you

 
C                                 F
Don’t stay too long cause I’m too lonesome

               G7                 C
Don’t stay too long cause I’m too blue

                            F
When you’re away I’m so downhearted 

               G7                C
Don’t stay too long cause I love you
