My sweet child was seen across town With some stranger man She had a smile on her face Looked out of place Suitcase was in her hand Junior saw it happen Why didn't I listen to you, hey Whoa, ohh Whoa, Whoa, ohh Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him I remember on the day she left me That's one thing I'll never forget In the apartment we owned All she left was a phone And a broken down TV set Junior saw it happen Why didn't I listen to you, hey Whoa, ohh Whoa, Whoa, na na na na na Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him Didn't believe it when I first got word But boy, I sure do now I couldn't face it, my mind wouldn't take it
