Sweet Sixteen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sweet Sixteen,
Sweet Sixteen,
Sweet Sixteen,
Ah, you're the sweetest little babe
That I've ever seen
But you would not
You would not do
Everything that I ask you to
Guess you ran away from your home, darling
Now, you won't run away from me too
Well, my brother is sent to Korea
And my sister settled down in New-Orleans
Guess my mother is up in heaven
And now I wonder what
Would happen to me
Sweet Sixteen
Sweet Sixteen
Sweet Sixteen
Sweet Sixteen
You're the sweetest little baby
That I ever seen
