Somebody's waiting for me
In a noisy eastern city sat a lonely lad one night In a bar room where the wine began to flow From a table in the corner the young man slowly And he said it's getting late boys I must go For somebody's waiting for me Someone who loves me I know There's a light shining bright in the window For somebody's waiting for me I suppose you have a sweetheart his companions jovially said If she's pretty we would like to see her too If you'll only stop your teasing I will show her to you boys She's the only sweetheart that I ever knew * Refrain From an old brown leather pocketbook a picture he did take Of a gray-haired lady with a bowed-down head She's my mother and my sweetheart and she waits for me tonight So you see I told the truth boys when I said * Refrain
