[1] I been lonely much too long
I'd [4] give a Yankee dime if you come back home
[1] Honey won't you let me hold you [5] tight
[1] Tears keep a-fallin' my eyes are blurred
[4] If I had the wings of a pretty little bird
I would [1] fly back in-[5]-to your arms to-[1]-night

I'd [4] jump the Mississippi deep and wide
[1] If you was a-waitin' on the other side
Honey just to hug and hold you [5] tight
[1] I'd jump across and never get wet
[4] Right there by your side I'd set
[1] Yes indeed every-[5]-thing would be al-[1]-right

If you would come back home to me
Make me happy like I used to be
I'd start and meet you halfway
I'd leave here and never look back
I'd run a mile in a minute flat
To get to you before the end of day
