recorded by

1953


Please help me ease my aching heart,
You know I loved you from the start.
I lie awake and cry all night,
I just can't bear you out of sight!

I can't have no peace of mind
Now that you've left poor me behind.
You must have a heart of stone
To leave me here to cry alone!

Take me back, take me back,
My happy days have been so few.
Take me back take me back,
Daddy take me back with you!

You know our love was meant to be,
My darling please come back to me.
Forget about our stormy past
And hope our love will always last!

Lord knows, I've stood the pain,
I've cried and cried for you in vain.
When we met we made a vow,
I can't stand to lose you now!

Please take me back, take me back,
My happy days have been so few.
Take me back take me back,
Daddy take me back with you!
