C F Don’t stay too long cause I’m too lonesome G7 C Don’t stay too long cause I’m too blue F When you’re away I’m so downhearted G7 C Don’t stay too long cause I love you F When you are here I’m so contented G7 C Each minute is a joy for me F But when you go my heart starts crying G7 C My darling want you heed my plea F Your letters come but still I’m lonely G7 C Cause letters can’t erase my tears F In dreams I have my arms around you G7 C The days and nights now seem like years F I’ll walk the floor and think about you G7 C I just can’t find a thing to do F But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure G7 C I can’t get by if I can’t have you C F Don’t stay too long cause I’m too lonesome G7 C Don’t stay too long cause I’m too blue F When you’re away I’m so downhearted G7 C Don’t stay too long cause I love you
