But you would not
              G7
You would not do
      C                   C7  G
Everything that I ask you to
                             E7            A
Guess you ran away from your home, darling
            D                   G   C  Cm  G  D
Now, you wanna run away from me too

Well, my brother is sent to Korea
       C                          C7       G
And my sister settled down in New-Orleans
                         E7     A
Guess my mother is up in heaven
          D
And now I wonder what

Would happen to me

That I ever seen
