| I been lonely much too long I’d give a Yankee dime if you come back home |
| Honey won’t you let me hold you tight |
| Tears keep a fallin' my eyes are blurred if I had the wings of a pretty little |
| bird |
| I would fly right to your arms tonight |
| I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide if you was a waitin' on the other side |
| Honey just to hug and hold you tight |
| I’d jump across and never get wet right there by your side I’d set |
| Yes indeed everything would be alright |
| If you would come back home to me make me happy like I used to be |
| I’d start and meet you halfway |
| I’d leave here and never look back I’d run a mile in a minute flat |
| To get to you before the end of day |
| I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide… |
| I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide… |
