Sweet Sixteen Lyrics - It Was A Very Good Year - James Cotton

When I first met you, baby 

You were just sweet sixteen 

You just left your home, baby 

Sweetest thing I've ever seen 

But you would not do, you would not do 

Anything I asked you to 

Now you run away home, baby 

Now you gonna run away from me too 

Well, my brother is in Korea 

And my sister down in New Orleans 

Well, my mother's up in heaven 

Lord, what's gonna happen to me 

Yes, I love you, I've always loved you 

Ever since I called your name 

But seems like everything I do 

Oh, has been in vain 

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen 

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen 

Well, the sweetest thing that I've ever seen 

Sweet sixteen
