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 brake my aching heart

You know I loved you true for many years
Loved you night and day
How can you leave me?
Can't ya see my tears?
And listen at me while I'm saying

After you've gone
Left me crying
After you've gone
Ain't no deny

You feel blue
You don't feel sad
You'll miss the best love
That 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 grown lonely
you're heart will brake like mine
You gonn' want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away

After you've gone
After we brake up
After you've gone
You shure gonn' wake up

You gonna find that
You were blind
'till 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 downhearted
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
