CAN'T YOU HEAR ME CALLING (Bill Monroe)
from "True Life Blues, The Songs Of Bill Monroe" (Sugar Hill, SHCD-2209)
The days are long, and the nights are lonely.
Since you left me all alone.
I worry so, my little darling.
I worry so, since you've been gone.
Chorus:
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me calling?
A million times I love you best.
I mistreated you, Lord and I'm sorry.
Come back to me, is my request.
I remember dear, the night we parted.
A big mistake's caused it all.
If you'll return, sunshine will follow.
To stay away would be my fall.
(Chorus)
The days are dark, my little darling.
Oh how I need your sweet embrace.
When I woke up, the sun was shining.
When I looked up I saw your face.
(Chorus)
