Oh, sister's, sister's down in New Orleans
Ah, the sweetest thing I'd ever seen
You're gonna give a lot of money
Everything I do is in vain
My sister's down in New Orleans
Treat me mean, baby
The sweetest thing, the sweetest thing
Yes, sweet sixteen baby, sweet sixteen
Baby I wonder, yes I wonder, baby I wonder
The sweetest thing, baby
You know, you know I loved you, baby
You know you ran away from your home, baby
I loved you before I could call your name
The sweetest thing I've ever seen
But it seems like everything I do now, baby
Baby, you were just sweet sixteen
You wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
My brother's in Korea, baby
When I first met you, baby
You wouldn't do anything I ask you to
Love you, loved you, I loved you before I could call your name
To hear someone call my name
Baby, I wonder, what in the world is gonna happen to me
You know I'm having so much trouble, people
And now you wanna run away from old B. too
Treat me mean, baby
Oh I just left Vietnam, baby
But you wouldn't do nothing for me, baby
I'll keep loving you, keep on loving you just the same
You just left your home then, baby
But one of these days, baby
You wouldn't do anything I ask you to
You know I loved you, baby
Well, you know I'm having so much trouble, people
And I'll keep on loving you just the same
