I'm cryin’
I'm cryin'
Cryin’ for Sharleena
Don't you know
I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask' um
Where she done went
But nobody 'round here seems to know
Where my Sharleena's been
Where my Sharleena's been
[repeat verse]

Ten long years I’ve been lovin’ her
Ten long years
And I thought deep down in my heart
She was mine
Ten long years I've been lovin’ her
Ten long years
I would call her my baby, and now
I'm always cryin'

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me
I would be so delighted
Sharleena
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

Send my love to Sharleena
Why doesn't somebody
Some second, some minute
Some hour, some day
Some month, some week, some year
Why don’t you, why don't you, why don't you, yeah-eah
Why don't you send her home
Why don't you come on and send my ever-lovin' Sharleena home
Send my baby home to me-eeeeeeeeee
Why don't you send her home to me-e-e-eyeah
