V1 She just jumped on a plane & paid no attention to me Give me no notice, well her goodbyes sure were sweet Said she's gonna write, maybe call me up She checked her bags & then she broke my heart She kissed my cheek & told me not to keep in touch
CHORUS ----- The rising sun just stole my girl away The rising sun just stole my girl away The rising sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane & steal her back again The rising sun just stole my girl away
V2 Now we're apart, I think about her everyday With the scuffle of little feet, all round the bed I'm gettin' no cards, been gettin' no mail My girl aint on the telephone If she don't come home, I know just where I'm gonna go
CHORUS
MIDDLE ----- They're buyin' our beaches, sellin' transistors Them little folk look real big If they think that they can, take her away I'm gonna steal her right back again ... shake!
