With a sweet country girl, a smile in her eyes that can’t quite disguise all the pain
I while away all the hours in the day, paying no mind to the rain
But where lies my sweetheart tonight?
I’m calling her name in vain
Where lies my true love tonight?
I’m longing to see her again
Down by the river near the old gaswork towers we rolled back the years to more innocent times
Time disappears when you ditch all your fears, easy to lose hours in company so fine
But where lies my sweetheart tonight?
I’m calling her name in vain
Where lies my true love tonight?
I’m longing to see her again
What I would endure just to ensure you were here by my side
In the absence of you the wine gets me through now that bottle’s run dry
Where lies my sweetheart tonight?
I’m calling her name in vain
Where lies my true love tonight?
I’m longing to see her again
Now my world is an empty glass, I need a drink, Lord I need a drink
Bring my baby to me or just leave me be, just leave me be
Bring back my darling to me
Bring back my baby to me
