Big John, won't you come on home? Ain't you gonna marry me? My folks all want to know When the wedding's gonna be They're makin' plans, shakin' hands Been waitin' so long There's somethin' goin' wrong
Big John, if you don't come home I'm gonna have to leave this place My folks know you've jilted me I'm ashamed to show my face They're makin' plans, shakin' hands Been waitin' so long There's somethin' goin' wrong
They all told me 'bout the things you do If what they told me is true They all said that I'd soon find out I'm wastin' my kisses on you
There's somethin' goin' wrong
