Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Two sweethearts courted happily for quite a while
‘Midst simple life of country folk
When the lad told girlie he must go away
Her little heart with grief ‘most broke
She said you know it’s true I love you best of all
So honey don’t you go away
Just as he went to go, it grieved the girlie so
These words he heard her say
Chorus
Some of these days, you’ll miss me honey
Some of these days, you’ll feel so lonely
You’ll miss my hugging, you’ll miss my kissing
You’ll miss me honey, when you go away
I feel so lonely, just for you only
For you know honey, you’ve had your way
And when you leave me, I know t’will grieve me
You’ll miss your little baby, yes some of these days
- The little girlie feeling blue said I’ll go, too
And show him two can play this game
When her honey heard this melancholy news
He quickly came back home again
But when he reached the house he found his girl was gone
So down he rushes to the train
While it was pulling out, he heard his girlie shout
This loving sweet refrain
