Two sweethearts courted happily for quite a while,
'Midst simple life of country folk,
When the lad told girlie he must go away.
Her little heart with grief 'most broke.
She said, "You know it's true I love you best of all.
So honey, don't you go away!"
Just as he went to go, it grieved the girlie so
These words he heard her say:
"Some of these days,
You'll miss me honey!
Some of these days,
You'll feel so lonely!
You'll miss my hugging,
You'll miss my kissing.
You'll miss me honey when you go away.
I feel so lonely, just for you only.
For you know honey, you've had your way!
And when you leave me,
I know t'will grieve me
You'll miss your little baby
Yes, some of these days!"
The little girlie, feeling blue said "I'll go too,
And show him two can play this game."
When her honey heard that melancholy news,
He quickly came back home again.
But when he reached the house
He found his girl was gone.
So down he rushes to the train
While it was pulling out,
He heard his girlie shout
This loving, sweet refrain:
(Dixie Land style)
"Some of these days,
You'll miss me honey!
Some of these days,
You'll feel so lonely!
You'll miss my hugging,
You'll miss my kissing.
You'll miss me honey when you go away.
I feel so lonely, just for you only.
For you know honey, you've had your way!
And when you leave me,
I know t'will grieve me
You'll miss your little baby
Yes, some of these days!"
