Oh Linda
Oh Linda, you done me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing a song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
Oh Linda, you made me grieve, I feel like I could die
Look out, babe, the moon is falling down from your sky
Oh gal, don't you say goodbye
Now that I need you by my side
Love me now or be on your way, hey-hey-hey, pretty baby
If you go, be gone to stay
Hey-hey Linda, you know my love is strong
I say, Linda, I love you all night long
Oh well, you know, you such a pretty thing
I'm gonna buy you, buy you a diamond ring
I saw Linda late last night
Dressed for town, she looked alright
Painted eyes and lips like wine
Walking along with a friend of mine
Oh gal, don't you say so long, I feel like I could die
Look out, babe, the moon is falling down from your sky
Oh gal, don't you do me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
You can take everything I own
Take everything but a come on home
Hey-hey Linda, I don't want lullabies
I know, Linda, I know you told me lies
Well, go on, Linda, why don't you go?
Go on your way
And if you're gone, be gone to stay
Oh-oh Linda, you made me grieve
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing a song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
Oh Linda, you made me grieve, I feel like I could die
Look out, babe, the moon is falling down from your sky
Oh gal, don't you say goodbye
Now that I need you by my side
Love me now or be on your way, hey-hey-hey, pretty baby
If you go, be gone to stay
Hey-hey Linda, you know my love is strong
I say, Linda, I love you all night long
Oh well, you know, you such a pretty thing
I'm gonna buy you, buy you a diamond ring
I saw Linda late last night
Dressed for town, she looked alright
Painted eyes and lips like wine
Walking along with a friend of mine
Oh gal, don't you say so long, I feel like I could die
Look out, babe, the moon is falling down from your sky
Oh gal, don't you do me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
You can take everything I own
Take everything but a come on home
Hey-hey Linda, I don't want lullabies
I know, Linda, I know you told me lies
Well, go on, Linda, why don't you go?
Go on your way
And if you're gone, be gone to stay
Oh-oh Linda, you made me grieve
