I'm crying, I'm crying
Crying for Charlina
Don't you know
I'll call up all my baby's friends
And ask them where she done went
But nobody around here seems to know
Where my Charlina's been
Where my Charlina's been
I'm crying
Crying for Charlina
Can't you see
I'll call up all my baby's friends
And ask them where she done went
But nobody around here seems to know
Where my Charlina's been
Where my Charlina's been
Where my Charlina's been
Ten long years I've been lovin' her
Ten long years and I thought deep down in my heart she was mine
Ten long years I've been lovin' her
Ten long years I will call her my baby's friend
And now I'm going home
I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just send it on home to me
I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just send it on home to me
Come on, baby, home, come on
Why doesn't somebody somewhere
Why doesn't somebody somewhere
Why doesn't somebody somewhere
Why don't you send it home?
Why don't you send my little girl Charlene home?
Send my baby home
Why don't you send it home to me?
Thank you.
Thank you.
