When I first met you, baby
You were just sweet sixteen
You just left your home, baby
Sweetest thing I've ever seen
But you would not do, you would not do
Anything I asked you to
Now you run away home, baby
Now you gonna run away from me too
Well, my brother is in Korea
And my sister down in New Orleans
Well, my mother's up in heaven
Lord, what's gonna happen to me
Yes, I love you, I've always loved you
Ever since I called your name
But seems like everything I do
Oh, has been in vain
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Well, the sweetest thing that I've ever seen
Sweet sixteen
