Oh Linda

(album: Belafonte By Request - 1970)

Oh Linda you done me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing a song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind

Oh Linda you made me grieve
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky

Oh gal don't you say goodbye
Now that I need you by my side
Love me now or be on your way
If you go be gone to stay

I saw Linda late last night
Dressed for town she looked alright
Painted eyes and lips like wine
Walking on down with a friend of mine

Oh gal don't you say so long
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky

Oh gal don't you be unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
Love me now or be on your way
If you go be gone to stay

Oh Linda you made me grieve
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky

Oh gal don't you say goodbye
Now that I need you by my side
You can have everything I own
Take everything but a-come on home

Oh gal don't you say so long
I feel like I could die
Look out baby the moon is falling
Down from your sky

Oh gal don't you do me wrong
I'm gonna sing you a goodbye song
Sing a song that's most unkind
I ain't even gonna try to change your mind
