Don't you leave little girl Don't you leave from this town Little girls must not ramble around I can see by the light From the pale moon up high It is a lonesome messed up town May the wind call you back Send you back down the tracks That have carried you far from your home Little girl don't you see Your true love arrives for me We shall marry and never more roam Sweet Pauline won't you come back to me Sweet Pauline won't you come marry me You're the one that I love You are all I think of You could never be false in my mind There are things that I miss Cannot stand around remiss Will not stand to wait a long time Sweet Pauline won't you come back to me Sweet Pauline won't you come marry me
