Down here on the farm the weather gets messy

Laying around with nothin' to do

When you went away, you took my cow Bessie

I miss her darling, more than I miss you



You took off your leg, your wig and your eye glass

And you shoud've seen the look on my face

I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you

But you were scattered all over the place



Chorus:

Where, where, are you tonight?

Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over,

And thought I found true love.

You met another and

Phht! you were gone.



I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing

The proofs hanging out right there on the line

When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing

Your nighties hugging them long johns of mine



The noises you made at our supper table

Your habits, my dear, were surely absurd

But how many times do I have to tell you

Soup is a dish to be seen and not heard



Chorus:

Where, oh where, are you tonight?

Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over,

And thought I found true love.

You met another and

Phht! you were gone.



Remember you phoned me a-sobbin' and cryin'

The dog bit your maw, and drug her around

You said she looked pale and thought she was dying

I said "Don't worry, I'll buy a new hound."



I had six kids and you had eleven

And we had a boy, and they grew like flowers

I wish you'd come back, without you ain't heaven

'Cause your kids and my kids are beatin' up ours



Chorus:

Where, oh where, are you tonight?

Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over,

And thought I found true love.

You met another and

Phht! you were gone
