The Little Girl in My Home Town

Today my heart is burdened
I'm back to settle down
I saw the bright lights of the city
I'd have all the joys of town
But there was something missing
while I was roamin' round
Now I know just what was missing
the little girl in my hometown
I'm back but I am too late
'cause she just married a friend
She waited for me lonely years
for all my roaming to end
She were tired of just waiting
for a love that let her down
I lost my only real true love
the little girl in my hometown

It's my heart that I've broken
as no one has to blame
I could try now to win her
but that might cause her shame
So I'll travel down this lonesome road
'till journey's end I'll find
I'll always love I can't forget
the little girl in my hometown
I didn't mean to forget her
when I went away
Ramble's all I cared to do
didn't know I'd have to pay
I didn't mean to be untrue to her
didn't mean to let her down
I lost my only real true love
the little girl in my hometown
