Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lover please, please, come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
[Verse 2]
You would never hold me so near
You would never call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you're gone, that's what I'll do
[Verse 3]
Lover please, please, come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
[Verse 4]
Oh love story, not too long
By the lover that went all wrong
The girl left the boy just as bad
Now she's gone and she's so sad
[Verse 5]
Lover please, please, come back
Don't take a train coming down the track
Don't please, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
[Verse 6]
You would never hold me so near
You would never have called me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you're gone, that's what I'll do
[Verse 7]
Lover please, please, come back
Don't take a train coming down the track
Please, don't, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
