Lyric:
Well I Woke Up Late This Morning
My Head Was In The Whirl
Only When I Realized
I Lost My Little Girl
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Well Her Clothes Were Not Expensive
Her Hair Didn't Always Curl
I Don't Know Why I Loved Her
But I Loved My Little Girl
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Well Gather Round People
Let Me Tell You The Story
The Very First Song I Wrote
Well Gather Round People
Let Me Tell You The Story
The Very First Song I Wrote
