Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
The rolling clouds were gray
The day I went away
Why did we have to part
I knew I’d break her heart
Chorus
I often wonder why
We had to say goodbye
I left her and I made her cry
If you see Margie
Tell her that I’m coming home
Wherever she may be
Wherever she may go
Remember I want you to know
If you see Margie
Tell her that I’m coming home
Tell her I’m so sorry that I made her sad
Tell her not to worry
Soon I’ll make her glad
She’s waiting all alone
I want her for my own
And never again will I roam
If you see Margie
Tell her that I’m coming home
