INTRO
Sweet babe, I'm gonna leave you, and the time ain't long
No, the time ain't long
You don't believe I'll leave you, 'til the day I'm gone
You'll never miss your water 'til your well goes dry
'Til your well goes dry
You'll never miss your baby, 'til he says goodbye
Then you'll be sorry, oh, sorry to your heart
Sorry to your heart
Someday, babe, you and I must part
And every time you hear a whistle blow
Hear a steamboat blow
You'll think of the day you lost your Joe

Then you'll be sorry, oh, sorry to your heart
Sorry to your heart
Someday, babe, you and I must part
And every time you hear a whistle blow
Hear a steamboat blow
You'll think of the day you lost your Joe
