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
