The Little Girl in My Hometown Songtext
von Carl Smith

Today my heart is burdened
I′m back to settle down
I saw the bright lights of the city
I'd have all the joys of town
But there was something missing
While I was roamin′ round
Now I know just what was missing
The little girl in my hometown I'm back but I am too late
'Cause she just married a friend
She waited for me lonely years
For all my roaming to end
She were tired of just waiting
For a love that let her down
I lost my only real true love
The little girl in my hometown


It′s my heart that I′ve broken
As no one has to blame
I could try now to win her
But that might cause her shame
So I'll travel down this lonesome road
′Till journey's end I′ll find
I'll always love I can′t forget
The little girl in my hometown
I didn't mean to forget her
When I went away
Ramble's all I cared to do
Didn′t know I′d have to pay
I didn't mean to be untrue to her
Didn′t mean to let her down
I lost my only real true love
The little girl in my hometown
