Two sweethearts in a country town, the neighbors say
Lived happily the whole day long
Until one day he told her he must go away
She wondered then what could be wrong

He said "You know it's true I love you best of all
And yet it's best that we should part"
Just as he went away they heard his sweetheart say
Though it 'most broke her heart:

Some of these days
You'll miss me, honey
Some of these days
You'll feel so lonely
You'll miss my hugging
You'll miss my kissing
You'll miss me, honey
When you're away

I feel so lonely
Just for you only
For you know, honey
You've had your way
And when you leave me
You know 't will grieve me
I'll miss my little dad-dad-daddy
Yes some of these days

He went away, and from that day the world's been sad
He realizes his mistake
He listened to the gossips, and that's always bad
For they don't care whose heart they break

As time went on he longed to see his girl again
And so by chance one day they met
As they met face to face, there was a fond embrace
Though these words haunt him yet:

Some of these days
You'll miss me, honey
Some of these days
You'll feel so lonely
You'll miss my hugging
You'll miss my kissing
You'll miss me, honey
When you're away

I feel so lonely
Just for you only
For you know, honey
You've had your way
And when you leave me
You know 't will grieve me
I'll miss my little dad-dad-daddy
Yes some of these days
