C F
Today my heart is lonely I'm back to settle down
C D7 G7
I saw the bright lights of the city and all the joys of town
C F
But there was something missing while I was roaming round
C G7 C
Now I know just what was missing the little girl in my hometown
F C G7 C
I'm back but I am too late cause she just married a friend
F C D7 G7
She waited through lonely years for all my roaming to end
C F
She grew tired of just waiting for a love that let her down
C G7 C
I lost my only real true love the little girl in my hometown
F
It's my heart that I've broken thereβs no one else to blame
C D7 G7
I could try to win her now but that might cause her shame
C F
So I travel down this lonely road till journey's end I found
C G7 C
I'll always love I can't forget the little girl in my hometown
F C G7 C
I didn't mean to forget her when I went away
F C D7 G7
Ramble's all I cared to do didn't know I'd have to pay
C F
I didn't mean to be untrue to her didn't mean to let her down
C G7 C
I lost my only real true love the little girl in my hometown
