My sweet child was seen across town With some stranger man She had a smile on her face Looked out of place Suitcase was in her hand
Junior saw it happen Why didn't I listen to you, hey Whoa, ohh Whoa, put your hat on back Whoa, ohh Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
I remember on the day she left me That's one thing I'll never forget In the apartment we owned All she left was a phone And a broken down TV set
Junior saw it happen Why didn't I listen to you, hey Whoa, ohh Whoa, put your hat on back Whoa, na na na na na Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
Didn't believe it when I first got word But boy, I sure do now I couldn't face it, my mind wouldn't take it It didn't make sense somehow Because I thought you was happy With the way we lived And the things that we used to do Whoa, no no no Whoa, put your hat on back Whoa, no no no no Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
