#21 in 1961.
(Capo 1st fret.)
#1.
Big John, won t you come on home?
Ain t you gonna marry me?
My folks all wanna know,
when the wedding s gonna be.
They re makin plans, shakin hands,
been waitin so long..has somethin gone wrong?
#2.
Big John, if you don t come home,
I m gonna have to leave this place.
My folks know you ve jilted me..
and I m ashamed to show my face.
They re makin plans, shakin hands,
been waitin so long..has somethin gone wrong?
CHORUS:
They all told me bout the things you do..
if what they told me is true.
They all said that I d soon find out..
I m wastin my kisses on you.
(INTERLUDE:SAX:)
