Sweet Sixteen,

Sweet Sixteen,

Sweet Sixteen,

Ah, youre the sweetest little babe

That Ive 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 wont run away from me too



Well, my brother is sent 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

Youre the sweetest little baby

That I ever seen
