Who's Gonna Hold Her Hand

(album: String Along - 1960)

Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

I watched that big white boat go down
Sailing to the sea and ev'ry time that wheel went around
She was farther away from me
She sailed away to another town
I'll never understand
She walked the streets in a yellow gown, singing, "Who's gonna be my man?"

Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

I used to walk by the riverside, lonesome as I could be
Hoping the boat would come sailing in. Bringing her back to me
Sometimes I think my world will end and I'll have no place to hide
To cry the tears she left with me and the lonely feeling inside

Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
