Now won't you listen honey, while I say,
How could you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part,
Don't break your baby's heart

You know I've loved you for these many years,
Loved you night and day...
Oh! honey baby, can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say:

After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the only pal you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh, bab', think what you're doing
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away, away

After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the only pal you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh, bab', think what you're doing
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away

After you've gone, after you've gone away.
