Why Did You Leave Lyrics

Wilbert Harrison Why Did You Leave

[Verse 1]
I know you've been away
For such a long, long time
Still my heart cries for you
You're always on my mind

[Chorus]
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?

[Verse 2]
I always tried to do right
No matter where I go
But since my girl's been gone
I can't stay here no mo'

[Chorus]
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
No matter where I travel
I'll be all by myself
I keep cryin' for my baby
And wonderin' why she left
[Chorus]
Why did you leave, darlin'?
Why did you leave?
Oh, why did you go?
