Also recorded by :
Jack Guthrie


Chorus:
When The World Has Turned You Down Dear I'll be waiting,
When your friends can’t be found I’ll be there
When your heart is sad and lonely and no longer wants to roam
When you have no place to go please come on home!

It’s been many years ago dear since we parted
And not one word have I heard from you
I'm so all alone and broken hearted
And I wonder if you miss me too

Darling I just don’t know why you left me
But I do know my heart is broken in two
And if someday you should decide you want me
You’ll always find me waiting here for you

My Darling if I failed you then I’m sorry
For I didn’t mean to treat you wrong
And if you should need me some sad tomorrow
You’ll always find me waiting here at home

Chorus:
When The World Has Turned You Down Dear I'll be waiting,
When your friends can’t be found I’ll be there
When your heart is sad and lonely and no longer wants to roam
When you have no place to go please come on home!

It’s been many years ago since we parted
And not one word have I heard from you
And I wonder if you miss me too
