She just jumped on a plane and paid no attention to me
Gave me no notice but her goodbyes sure were sweet
Said she gonna write, maybe call me up
She checked her bags and then she broke my heart
She kissed my cheek and told me not to keep in touch
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
Now we're apart, I think about her everyday
With the scuffle of little feet, all round the bed
I'm gettin' no cards, we're gettin' no mail
The girl came on the telephone
If she don't come home I know that's just where I'm gonna go
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
Said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
They're buying our beaches, sellin' transistors
Them little folk look real big
If they think that they can take her away
I'm gonna steal her right back again . . . Shake!
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
Well, the Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
