There was a girl back in my town But I shouldn't bring up what I can't put down She was above reproach in everyway One day I left the town I'm from And as hard as I tried she would not come along She left me alone in everyway
People are laughing and they're having such fun I wish it was happening to me This is the moonlight The very same moonlight so how happy can I be
Now I'm alone and I'm at large What kind of fool puts me in charge God it's a lonely way I'm living these days There was a girl back in my town That I couldn't get over she won't come ‘round You know she left me alone in every way
