Last Time I Saw Him



Last time I saw him he sweetly kissed my lips

Last time I saw him he said I’ll be back

For more of this

Last time I saw him we were crying at the bus

I knew he hated leaving but he had to

Set us up

I gave him money I know I invested well

Mama doesn’t trust him but he loves me I can tell

Each day the greyhound arrives at nine o’clock

But I don’t start my crying ‘til that last man’s gotten off



Last time I saw him, last time I saw my honey

Last time I saw him he was greyhound bound

But I’m still waiting here without a fear

That bus will someday turn around



I’ve had no letter; it’s been six months maybe better

I tried forgettin’ him, but I love him more than ever

I have decided I’ve waited long enough

If there was nothing wrong he would return

Right on that bus

There must be trouble so I’m leavin’ on the double

If he can’t get to me I know he needs me desperately



Last time I saw him last time I saw my honey

Last time I saw him he was looking fine

And as he waved goodbye he said don’t cry

I’m coming back come rain or shine
