I've been so blue and lonesome too Ever since you went away My poor heart yearns for you both night and day Since you're gone the stars don't seem to shine You are always on my mind I'm so unhappy for I want just you But there'll come a time You'll miss me and you'll be blue There'll come a time You'll want me no one else will do (sweet Mamma) Your heart will long for my loving Then you'll see that you were wrong And I know you will sigh And maybe sometimes cry But then I'll be long gone (sweet Mamma) Hurry home or I'll be gone Hurry home or I'll be gone You won my heart right from the start I gave all my love to you I never dreamed that you could be untrue You have ways of loving all your own That's what made me leave my happy home But now you're gone and I'm left all alone But there'll come a time You'll miss me and you'll be blue There'll come a time You'll want me no one else will do (oh Baby) Your heart will long for my loving Then you'll see that you were wrong And I know you will sigh And maybe sometimes cry But then I'll be long gone (sweet Mamma) Hurry home or I'll be gone Hurry home or I'll be gone
