Lyrics

it’s a mighty lonely lifestyle, this leaving that i do
often times i find myself reminded of you
lordy how i miss those hips, i miss your sweet lips too
i could sit and stay awhile without ever feeling blue
but i try not to cry when i say goodbye
and i’ll see you when i see you if i do

now winter’s almost over and summer’s coming on
soon i will return again to my new mexico home
and you’ll be down in new orleans, you tell me on the phone
i could stop my rambling and never feel alone
but i know down in my bones that i have got to go
and i’ll see you when i see you if i do

it’s a mighty lonely lifestyle, this leaving that i do
often times i find myself reminded of you
lordy how i miss those hips, i miss your sweet lips too
i could sit and stay awhile without ever feeling blue
but i try not to cry when i say goodbye
and i’ll see you when i see you if i do

i try not to cry when i say goodbye
and i’ll see you when i see you if do
