Sweet sixteen   Sweet sixteen   Sweet sixteen   Sweet sixteen   Ah, you're the sweetest little thing   That I've ever seen      But you would not, you would not do   Everything that I ask you to   Guess you ran away from your home, darling   Now, you wanna run away from me too      Well, my brother, they sent him to Korea   And my sister settled down in New Orleans   Guess my mother is up in heaven   And now I wonder what's gonna happen to me      Sweet sixteen   Sweet sixteen   Sweet sixteen   Sweet sixteen   Yes, you're the sweetest little thing   That I've ever seen
