My sweet child was seen across town

With some stranger man

She had a smile on her face

Looked out of place

Suitcase was in her hand



Junior saw it happen

Why didn't I listen to you, hey

Whoa, ohh

Whoa,

Whoa, ohh

Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him



I remember on the day she left me

That's one thing I'll never forget

In the apartment we owned

All she left was a phone

And a broken down TV set



Junior saw it happen

Why didn't I listen to you, hey

Whoa, ohh

Whoa,

Whoa, na na na na na

Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him



Didn't believe it when I first got word

But boy, I sure do now

I couldn't face it, my mind wouldn't take it

It didn't make sense somehow

Because I thought you was happy

With the way we lived

And the things that we used to do

Whoa, no no no

Whoa,

Whoa, no no no no

Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
