Tonight as I write you I pray you will find
  You're driving me crazy plum out of my mind
  If you'll come back darling I'll treat you so kind
  I'll buy you fine clothes and I'll drink no more wine
  
  I'm waiting I'm waiting for you to return
  The longer I wait the more my heart burns
  If you'll come home darling I'll treat you so kind
  I'll never mistreat you I'll drink no more wine
  
  It's been one year darling since you told me goodbye
  And the pillow stays wet with tears from my eyes
  If you'll come back darling I'll treat you so kind
  I love you I love you I'll drink no more wine
  
  The day that you left me I thought it was grand
  I was a happy-go-lucky man
  But tonight dear it's different as I write these lines
  My happiness has folded, luck's left me behind
