In the late 1950's, Dicky Do and the Don'ts had a hit song called "Leave Me Alone And Let Me Cry." Does anyone have the sheet music to this song? How about the lyrics or chords?

LEAVE ME ALONE (LET ME CRY)
Jim Doody, Marion Smith
Recorded by Dicky Doo & The Don'ts, 1958.

Every time you told me that you loved me
You were telling me another lie
Don't come round no more and say you love me
Just leave me alone and let me cry

You were telling lies so you could kiss me
When you had enough you said goodbye
Don't come round no more and say you miss me
Just leave me alone and let me cry

There will come a day when you'll be lonely
There will come a day you'll sit and sigh
There will come a day you'll want me only
But I'll leave you alone and let you cry
Leave you alone and let you cry
Leave you alone and let you cry

[This is on a various-artists album called "The Golden Age of American Popular Music," Ace, 2006.]

Jim...Thanks for the lyrics...I'm still looking for the chords. I think this song is based on a traditional song. Any one recognize it?

I just recorded a Dicky Doo and the Donts song, "Click Clack," for my next CD. Perhaps their time has come again.
