Now listen, honey, while I say How could you tell me that you gone away? Don't you say that we must part While you won't break my aching heart?
You know I loved you true for many years Loved you night and day How can you leave me? Can't you see my tears, And listen at me while I say?
After you've gone Left me crying After you've gone Ain't no deny
You feel blue You gon' feel sad You'll miss the best lovin' you ever had
And there come a time Don't you forget it There come a time When you'll regret it
Someday when you grow lonely Your heart gon' break like mine You gon' want me only After you've gone After you've gone away
After you've gone After we break up After you've gone You sure gon' wake up You gon' find that You were blind To let somebody come around and change your mind
After the years we've been together Through dawn and tears All kind of weather
Someday, blue and down-hearted You wanna be with me Right back where you started After you've gone After you've gone away Yeah After you've gone After you've gone away
