Sweet Little June (Stripped Back) Lyrics

Sweet little June she wasn't even two

She got sick while I was out on the road

The clubs they done stiffed me

All my money went missing

Now I don't know how I'll ever get home

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

Well I told her not to worry

I'll get back in a hurry

So I canceled all the rest of my shows

I told sweet little June

Honey, I'll be home soon

So I pawned my Everloving banjo

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

Well I hopped on a train

Tried to learn how to pray

Please don't take my girl

She ain't but two years old

But I got home that day

My darling Carrie was there to say

Sweet little June is gone

She needs a funeral

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

My sweet little June

Oh how I miss you

For your sweet little smile, I do long

Well, I bought back my banjo and lit up a candle

And I wrote you this sweet little song

Yodelayee

Yodelayee

Yodelayee
