Who's Gonna Hold Her Hand

Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

I watched that big white boat go down
Sailing to the sea
And ev'ry time that wheel went around
She was farther away from me

She sailed away to another town
I'll never understand
She walked the streets in a yellow gown
Singing, "Who's gonna be my man?"

Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

I used to walk by the riverside
Lonesome as I could be
Hoping the boat would come sailing in
Bringing her back to me

Sometimes I think my world will end
And I'll have no place to hide
To cry the tears she left with me
And the lonely feeling inside

Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
