Why Did You Leave
Bobby Charles
[Verse 1]
I know you've been away
For such a long, long time
Still my heart cries for you
You're always on my mind
[Chorus]
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?
[Verse 2]
I've always tried to do right
No matter where I go
But since my girl's been gone
I can't stay here no mo'
[Chorus]
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
No matter where I travel
Got to be all by myself
I keep cryin' for my baby
And wonderin' why she left
[Chorus]
Why did you leave, darlin'?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?
