D#                        G#           D#
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy..

                              A#
laying around with nothin' to do.

     D#                 G#          D#
When you went away, you took my cow Bessie..

D#                            A#     D#
I miss her darling, more than I miss you.
#2.
D#                          G#           D#
You took off your leg, your wig and your glass eye..

D#                                    A#
and you should've seen the look on my face.

  D#                G#        D#
I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you..

D#                         A#       D#
but you were scattered all over the place.
CHORUS:
G#                          D#
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?

D#                             A#
Why did you leave me here all alone?

  D#                           G#
I searched the world over, and thought I found 

D#
true love.

D#                  A#             D#
You met another and Phht! you were gone.
#3.
D#                               G#        D#
I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing.

D#                                         A#
The proof's hanging out right there on the line.

     D#                 G#            D#
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing..

D#                          A#            D#
your nightie's hugging them long johns of mine.
#4.
D#                     G#         D#
The noises you made at our supper table..

D#                                 A#
your habits, my dear, were surely absurd.

    D#                G#        D#
But how many times do I have to tell you..

D#                   A#           D#
soup is a dish to be seen and not heard.
CHORUS:
G#                          D#
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?

D#                             A#
Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over, and thought I found 

D#
true love.

Remember you phoned me, a-sobbin' and cryin'..

D#                                 A#
the dog bit your ma, and drug her around.

    D#                       G#              D#
You said she looked pale and thought she was dying..

D#                          A#        D#
I said, 'Don't worry,' I'll buy a new hound.'
#6.
D#                 G#       D#
I had six kids and you had eleven..and we had 

                          A#
a boy, and they grew like flowers.

  D#                        G#            D#
I wish you'd come back, without you ain't Heaven..

D#                              A#         D#
cause your kids and my kids are beatin' up ours.

You met another and Phht! you were gone.
