Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen,

Sweet Sixteen,

Sweet Sixteen,

Ah, you're the sweetest little babe

That I've ever seen

But you would not

You would not do

Everything that I ask you to

Guess you ran away from your home, darling

Now, you won't run away from me too

Well, my brother is sent to Korea

And my sister settled down in New-Orleans

Guess my mother is up in heaven

And now I wonder what

Would happen to me

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen

You're the sweetest little baby

That I ever seen
