A lonely wife had written a letter one sad day
To the one she loved who's wanderd far away
And her teardropps fell like rain
Falling on the window pane
Then she read the note, and this it had to say
If you love me come and stay
If you don't, please stay away
Either love me or leave me alone
Don't come back and say you'll stay
If you plan to leave some day
Either love me or loeave me alone
I can't stand this grief and strife
Sick with heartaches, sick with fright
Since we've married, you've left me to roam
I have lived a lonely life
Since you took me for your wife
Either love me or leave me alone
* Refrain
Love me now or say goodbye
Don't come back and live and lie
You must love me or leave me alone
Love like your just can't be true
But I'm still in love with you
you must love me or leave me alone
* Refrain
