[Verse 1]
Step right up, come on in

[Verse 2]
Over there sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me
And sit down on my knee
And whisper, "Oh, I love you"
But now she's gone forever
And this old house will never

Without the love that we once knew
[Verse 3]
Straight ahead, that's the bed
Where we lay in love together
And Lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say, "Good morning, dear"?
[Verse 4]
There's her rings, all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Like she left them
When she tore my world apart
As you leave, you'll see the nursery
Oh, she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but our baby and my heart
[Outro]
Step right up, come on in
