Well I just got in to town today,
To find my girl has gone away,
She took the Greyhound in the general store.
I searched myself, I searched the town,
And when I finally did set down,
I found myself no wiser than before.
She said we couldn't do no wrong,
Now that my baby's gone, I don't know what to do,
She took my love and walked right out the door.
And if I ever find that girl, I know one thing for sure,
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before.
I took her love at seventeen,
