The days are dark, the nights are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I've worried so my little darling
I've loved you so even though you have gone
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'
A million times I loved you Bess
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 has caused it all
If you return, sunshine will follow
If you stay away the rain will fall
The days are dark, the nights are lonely
How I need your sweet embrace
When I awoke the sun was shining
I looked up and I saw your face
