Bring Back the Joys - Alberta Hunter

Last night I sat and thought, dear

Why did we ever part

I’ve sat all night and cried, dear

It seems you’re breaking my heart

I tried to do things to please you

But dear, it seems all in vain

If you will come back, I’ll forgive you

Yes dear, and I’ll take the blame

Oh honey bunch, I’m lonesome

I need you, 'deed I do

Won’t you please come back to my sugar shack

I’ll sit and worry about you

Don’t care to live without you

See how you haunt me

Someday you will want me

You know my love is true

My heart keeps calling you

Each hour seems like years, dear

Won’t you forgive and let’s live like true lovers do, my honeydew

I’ll build a home just big enough for two

Where we can love, yes, bill and coo

So come back and bring the joys that you’ve taken from me

Oh honey bunch, I’m lonesome

I need you, 'deed I do

Won’t you please come back to my sugar shack

I’ll sit and worry about you

Don’t care to live without you

See how you haunt me

Someday you will want me

You know my love is true

My heart keeps calling you

Each hour seems like years, dear

Won’t you forgive and let’s live like true lovers do, my honeydew

I’ll build a home just big enough for two

Where we can love, yes, bill and coo

So come back and bring the joys that you’ve taken from me
