Where did you go, my pretty little girl?
I've been up on the mountain, been around the world
You turned my heart, sand into a pearl
Little girl, where did you go?

I was knocking on your door, there way nobody home
I knocked and I knocked my knuckle to the bone
The I went next door, called you on the telephone
Little girl, where did you go?

Back in the beginning I took you for a ride
To the top of the mountain and down the other side
Then my heart stowed away, I took to the tide
Little girl, where did you go?

I was tossing on the ocean, rolling on the sea
Till I landed on the shore of a foreign country
I couldn't speak a word to anybody
Little girl, where did you go?

Don't need a knick-knack, no money, no gold,
No tempest in a teapot or a faery tale told
One sweet little kiss before I'm too old
Little girl, where did you go?
