Текст песни
When i first met you, you would not do
Now you run away home, you were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home, what s gonna happen to me
Has been in vain, has been in vain
You would not do, now you gonna run away from me too
Now you gonna run away from me too, sweet sixteen Cotton, has been in vain
Anything i asked you to, my mother s up in heaven
And my sister down in new orleans, sweet sixteen
but you would not do
my brother is in korea
You were just sweet sixteen, now you run away home, anything i asked you to
sweet sixteen
And my sister down in new orleans, the sweetest thing that i ve ever seen
has been in vain
But you would not do, when i first met you Cotton, now you run away home
The sweetest thing that i ve ever seen, my mother s up in heaven
My brother is in korea, now you gonna run away from me too
Ever since i called your name, sweet sixteen
but you would not do
you would not do
But you would not do, you just left your home
Now you gonna run away from me too, you just left your home, but you would not do
Has been in vain, and my sister down in new orleans, what s gonna happen to me
what s gonna happen to me
Sweet sixteen, you just left your home
You just left your home, sweet sixteen Sixteen, sweet sixteen
Has been in vain, sweet sixteen Cotton, now you gonna run away from me too
Now you run away home, my brother is in korea
Sweetest thing i ve ever seen, sweet sixteen Cotton, sweet sixteen
And my sister down in new orleans, sweet sixteen
Has been in vain, has been in vain, now you gonna run away from me too
sweet sixteen
The sweetest thing that i ve ever seen, sweet sixteen, has been in vain
I ve always loved you, sweet sixteen, and my sister down in new orleans
My mother s up in heaven, now you gonna run away from me too Sweet, sweet sixteen
ever since i called your name
i ve always loved you
You were just sweet sixteen, when i first met you
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen James, sweetest thing i ve ever seen
and my sister down in new orleans
