| Stay with me, baby
|
| Till Johnny comes
|
| He’ll come one day, I know it
|
| But he’s having fun
|
| He’s out painting the world scarlet red
|
| And he’s left me alone to be blue
|
| One day he’ll come to take me away
|
| From this love I’ve been sharing with you
|
| Stay with me, baby
|
| Please, stay
|
| Till Johnny comes
|
| Stay with me, baby
|
| And hold me near
|
| Just the way Johnny used to hold me
|
| When he was here
|
| 'Cause when last he was here, we were kissing
|
| And I thrilled to the way he spoke my name
|
| When he thinks of the true love he’s been missing
|
| He’ll be coming back to stake his claim
|
| Stay with me, baby
|
| Please, stay
|
| Till Johnny comes
|
| Since Johnny’s been gone
|
| You have dried all of the tears I have cried
|
| Won’t you stay here by my side
|
| Till Johnny shows
|
| And I’ll tell Johnny he’s come too late
|
| Just how long did he think I would wait
|
| And then stay with me forever
|
| Won’t you stay with me forever
|
| After Johnny goes
|
| Stay with me, baby
|
| Forever and ever and ever and ever
|
| Stay with me, baby |
