Oh No
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
(Could you smile when she were around?)
Oh no [oh no]
(Would you go out and paint the town?)
Oh no
Is there something you're trying to say?
Is my darling going away?
(Well, havn't you heard the news?)
Oh no [oh no]
(Did she ever tell you 'bout Joe?)
Oh no [oh no]
(Don't you know that she loves him so?)
Oh Lord, no
Everything was still all right
When I left her late last night
(But she's leaving town with Joe)
Oh no. [oh no.]
--- Instrumental ---
(Would you punished her being good?)
Oh no [oh no]
(Are you're closing the door for good?)
Oh Lord, no
I'll get down and beg on my knees
If it can bring her back to me
(Won't you ever forget?)
Oh no (oh no), oh no (oh no), oh no... (oh no...)
