I've been so blue and lonesome too
Ever since you went away
My poor heart yearns for you both night and day
Since you're gone the stars don't seem to shine
You are always on my mind
I'm so unhappy for I want just you

But there'll come a time
You'll miss me and you'll be blue
There'll come a time
You'll want me no one else will do (sweet Mamma)
Your heart will long for my loving
Then you'll see that you were wrong
And I know you will sigh
And maybe sometimes cry
But then I'll be long gone (sweet Mamma)
Hurry home or I'll be gone
-Yodel- Hurry home or I'll be gone

You won my heart right from the start
I gave all my love to you
I never dreamed that you could be untrue
You have ways of loving all your own
That's what made me leave my happy home
But now you’re gone and I'm left all alone
But there'll come a time
You'll miss me and you'll be blue
There'll come a time
You'll want me no one else will do (oh Baby)
Your heart will long for my loving
Then you'll see that you were wrong
And I know you will sigh
And maybe sometimes cry
But then I'll be long gone (sweet Mamma)
Hurry home or I'll be gone
-Yodel- Hurry home or I'll be gone
