She's Leavin' (bonnie Please Don't Go) Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

She's leavin' she's leavin' she's on the ship now and leavin' 

Standing by the gateway tossin' streamers over my way I find it kinda hard believin' 

Deceivin' deceivin' my subtle game of deceivin' 

Standing here and waving blowin' kisses and behavin' 

Like it doesn't matter much to see her leavin' 

I don't know what I don't know who I don't know where she's goin' to 

I only know she's goin' out of my life 

Across the sea a wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell band 

I watch the disappearin' face of my wife 

And I'm doin' all I can to hide the sad confusion in my mind 

And brace myself with every trick I know 

And though my lips are beating time to the words of Auld Lang Syne 

My voice keeps on defyin' cryin' Bonnie please don't go 

Oh that fool in me persuadin' me to hide the broken pieces of my dignity 

When a simple reassuring word just to reach out and comfort her 

Was all I had to say to keep her here with me 

And I don't know what I don't know where I don't know who she's goin' to... 

She's leavin' she's leavin'...
