The Brothers Four - Ellie Lou Lyrics

Oh Ellie Lou
Oh Ellie Lou
Why did you go?
What did you do?
You left me here in Charleston
My darling how I cried
When you came back to Charleston
As someone else's bride
We were so happy in Charleston town
Watching the evening sun go down
You the prettiest girl around
I the proudest of man in town

Oh Ellie Lou
Oh Ellie Lou
Why did you go?
What did you do?

You left me here in Charleston
And something in me died
When you came back to Charleston
As someone else's bride

(Ooh, oh) why did you go?
(Ooh, oh) what did you do?
Ooh
