So she Bsaid that you can't have your-

When you return be sure to ring my Bbell
Because you got Alots of my things that I need to get
So Eif you get back and I ain't home yet

E B

A man came into our town

Swinging his partner around.

He grabbed his young maid by the wrist

and bent down to give her a

E B

paper to sign right away,

saying they're parting their ways.

A B

She grabbed her man by his side and stared right deep in his

E B

wallet to get her fair share

So she said that you can't have your-

Chorus:

A E

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, if you ain't fond go wait a little longer

When you return be sure to ring my bell

Because you got lots of my things that I need to get

So if you get back and I ain't home yet

B A B E

I'll leave a note tellin' you to go to Helen's Restaurant.

E B

So when that young woman got home.

She couldn't just sit there alone.

A B

She called her mother in tears and worried she'd wasted her

E B

Beauty on a blind, old buffoon

Who's better off under a tomb.

Her mother said cryin's no use.

Every woman takes a little-

A E

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, if you ain't fond go wait a little longer

When you return be sure to ring my bell

Because you got lots of my things that I need to get

So if you get back and I ain't home yet

B A B E

I'll leave a note tellin' you to go to Helen's Restaurant.
