Sweet Sixteen - Big Joe Turner

When I first met you, baby

You were just sweet sixteen

You just left your home, baby

Sweetest thing I’ve ever seen

But you would not do, you would not do

Anything I asked you to

Now you run away home, baby

Now you gonna run away from me too

Well, my brother is in Korea

And my sister down in New Orleans

Well, my mother’s up in heaven

Lord, what’s gonna happen to me

Yes, I love you, I’ve always loved you

Ever since I called your name

But seems like everything I do

Oh, has been in vain

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen

Well, the sweetest thing that I’ve ever seen

Sweet sixteen
