Adeline

Adeline, I'll soon be leaving you

Sweet girl of mine, I just can't stay

So tonight I'll sing one song for you

For tomorrow I must be on my way

Adeline, remember me I pray

I still recall those nights out on the square

Where you made me feel like I was king

When you took me by my trembling hands

And begged to hear the songs I had to sing

And them barroom girls spun round and round

Just like jesters at my command

'Til the night gave way and them stars burned out

And my crown of gold turned to sand

Adeline, in your hands

You didn't always love me like I knew you should

Oh but darlin' it's all right

'Cause I didn't always give you everything I could

Adeline

Adeline, I'll soon be leaving you

These dreams of mine are callin' me away

So tonight I'll sing one song for you

For tomorrow I must be on my way

Adeline, remember me I pray

Adeline, remember me I pray
