Anita

Anita, why ya gotta be in Providence tonight, Providence tonight
Anita, why ya gotta be away
Anita baby, there is something I gotta say
when I met you I felt a love that could never fade away
tonight I was hopin' to get you all alone
but now you're miles and miles away
and I can only touch you by telephone
why'd ya have to go away
I bought her flowers, spent my last few dimes
Anita left town right around suppertime
not she's in Providence, she ain't comin' home
so I'll just sit here with my banjo all alone
what's in Providence anyway
Anita, lovin', I need your lovin'
Anita, why ya gotta be away
