Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Ah, you're the sweetest little thing
That I've ever seen
But you would not, you would not do
Everything that I ask you to
Guess you ran away from your home, darling
Now, you wanna run away from me too
Well, my brother, they sent him to Korea
And my sister settled down in New Orleans
Guess my mother is up in heaven
And now I wonder what's gonna happen to me
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen
Yes, you're the sweetest little thing
That I've ever seen
