Just a-wearyin' for you (Stanton, set by C. Jacobs-Bond) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Just a-wearyin' for you
 All the time a-feelin' blue.
 Wishin' for you, wond'rin' when
 You'll be comin' home again.
 Restless, don't know what to do.
 Just a-wearyin' for you.

 Mornin' comes, the birds awake.
 Used to sing so for your sake.
 But there's sadness in the notes
 That come trillin' from their throats.
 Seem to feel your absence too,
 Just a-wearyin' for you.

 Evenin' comes, I miss you more
 When the dark gloom's round the door.
 Seems just like you orter be
 There to open it for me.
 Latch goes tinklin', thrills me through.
 Sets me wearyin' for you.
