Lyrics

  1. My little girl
    You’ve left me and I’m lonely
    You’ve gone away, somewhere to stray
    Fanciful miss your bliss will turn to heartaches
    You’ll hesitate when it’s too late

Chorus:
Just like the will o’ the wisp
You flit around
Poor little frivolous miss
With heart unfound
But soon there’ll come a day
When you will change your way
You’ll want my kind of lovin’ kind of huggin’
Some sweet day
Just like the will o’ the wisp
You’ve gone astray
But you’ll be coming back
To home sweet home some day
And when you want to settle down
I’ll build a nest where you can flit around
Just like the will o’ the wisp
In your home town

  1. Poor little girl
    Some day you’ll stop and ponder
    O’er erring ways of bygone days
    Then little miss perhaps you’ll think of me, dear
    And come back home no more to roam
