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

I'm cryin'
I'm cryin'
Cryin' for Sharleena
Can't you see?
I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask'n um
Where she done went
But nobody 'round here seems to know
Where my Sharleena's been
Where my Sharleena's been

Ten long years I been lov'n her
Ten long years
And I thought deep down in my heart
She was mine
Ten long years I been lov'n her
Ten long years
I would call her my baby, and now
I'm always cryin'
(I'm cryin', yes . . .)
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
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

Hey, send my baby home . .
Oh, to me
Hey hey hey . .

I can't understand it! I can't understand it!
Why doesn't somebody send her home . .
Why don't you send her home, please . . . send her home . .
(Send my baby home to . . . )
Why don't you send her home to . .
Me! Me-eeeeh!
