My Sweetie Went Away lyrics

[Verse 1]
My baby went away
But she didn't say where
She didn't say when
She didn't say why
Or bid me goodbye
And I'm as blue as can be

I know she loves another one
But she didn't say who
She didn't say which
She didn't say what
That rascal has got
That took my sweetie from me

I'm like a little lost sheep
And I can't sleep
Tryin' to forget
The one I love has gone
And left me all alone

[Verse 2]
I mean, my baby went away
But she didn't say where
She didn't say when
She didn't say why
I know that I'll die
Why don't ya hurry back home
[Scatting]
[Instrumental break]
[Scatting]

[Outro]
I'm like a little lost sheep
And I can't sleep
Tryin' to forget
The one I love has gone
And left me all alone

I mean, my baby went away
But she didn't say where
She didn't say when
She didn't say why
I know that I'll die
Why don't ya hurry back home
