"I've got trouble.
Oh! What trouble!
Something's happened to me.
Came home one day and I found
My sweet one wasn't around!
Haven't heard a single word
About the cause of it all.
That's why I'm full of the blues,
Just waiting 'round for some news.

Maybe she'll write me.
Maybe she'll phone me.
Maybe she'll radio.
Went away Monday;
Here it is Sunday.
Just a long week ago.

I don't know where she went
Or what made her go!
One thing I know:
I'm feeling mighty worried!

Maybe she's lonesome
All on her 'ownsome'.
Longing for who knows what!
Maybe she's sighing,
Maybe she's crying.
Then again, . . . maybe not.
I don't care what she did,
Or where she went,
Or why she left,
As long as she only hurries back home to me!

Always lonely, but I'm only
Getting what I deserve.
I should have known at the start:
Someday she'd ruin my heart!
But I'm praying
She is saying
Just what I'm saying now.
So then she'll worry and cry,
and change her mind by-and-by."
