Hurt me so   bad,

made my poor heart skip a  beat

Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need

Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need

But misunderstanding and a no-good woman
They both cause my heart to bleed

Now every morning
The weeping willows weep for me

Now every morning baby
The weeping willows weep for me

The birds sing a little tune
I wish they'd sing my baby back home to me

The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street

The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street

I'm feeling sad and lonely
My baby's left me
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
