Hurry Home Or I'll Be Gone
Jack Neville
I've been so blue, and lonesome too, ever since you went away.
My poor heart yearns for you both night and day
Since you're gone the stars don't seem to shine.
You are always on my mind.
I'm so unhappy, for I want just you. Ah but...
There'll come a time, you'll miss me and you'll be blue.
There'll come a time, you'll want me, no one else will do.
Sweet mama, your heart will long for my loving,
Then you'll see that you were wrong.
I know you will sigh and maybe sometimes cry,
But then I'll be long gone.
Sweet mama, hurry home or I'll be gone.
Hurry home, or I'll be gone.

You won my heart, right from the start, I gave all my love to you.
I never dreamed that you could be untrue.
You had ways of loving all your own.
That's what made me leave my happy home.
Now that you're gone I'm left all alone. Ah but...
There'll come a time, you'll miss me and you'll be blue.
There'll come a time, you'll want me, no one else will do.
Sweet mama, your heart will long for my loving,
Then you'll see that you were wrong.
I know you will sigh and maybe sometimes cry,
But then I'll be long gone.
Sweet mama, hurry home or I'll be gone.
Hurry home, or I'll be gone.
