Poor Ole Me Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

POOR OLE ME 

(Jerry Varrable) 

'68 Party Time Music 

Well I talked to a friend of yours in town today 

He told me you were thinkin' of going away 

So that's why I hurried home I couldn't wait to see 

Is it true you're leaving leaving poor ole me 

You've been tellin' everybody how you hate to go 

You're sure that I'll just live in misery 

But there's still a few guys waitin' that I used to know 

And I'm sure that they'll take care of poor ole me 

I ain't never had no trouble finding me 

And I had quite a few the day that I met you 

But I'll do my best to grieve when you leave me 

I might even stay home a night or two 

I'll try to look heartbroken till I know you've gone 

I'll even get down on my bended knee 

If you'll just promise me this time that you'll stay gone 

You'll make a happy gal of poor ole me 

I ain't never had no trouble... 

You'll make a happy gal of poor ole me
