Sweet Sixteen

Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Ah, you're the sweetest little babe
That I've ever seen


But you would not, you would not do
Everything that I ask you to
Guess you ran away from your home, darling
Now, you won't run away from me too


Well, my brother, they sent him to Korea
And my sister settled down in New-Orleans
Guess my mother is up in Heaven
And now I wonder what would happen to me


Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
You're the sweetest little baby
That I ever seen

[Chorus]
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Ah, you're the sweetest little babe
That I've ever seen

[Verse 1]
But you would not, you would not do
Everything that I ask you to
Guess you ran away from your home, darling
Now, you won't run away from me too

[Verse 2]
Well, my brother, they sent him to Korea
And my sister settled down in New-Orleans
Guess my mother is up in Heaven
And now I wonder what would happen to me

[Chorus]
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
You're the sweetest little baby
That I ever seen
