[Verse 1]

She just jumped on a plane and paid no attention to me

Or gave me no notice but her goodbyes sure were sweet

[Bridge 1]

Said she's 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Now we're apart I think about her everyday

Well the scuffle of little feet all round the bed

[Bridge 2]

I'm gettin' no cards, I'm gettin' no mail

The girl ain't on the telephone

If she don't come home I know that's where I'm gonna go

[Chorus]

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

I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again

The rising sun just stole my girl away

[Bridge 3]

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 back again

Shake!

Aww it's lookin' real good

Why don't you call me up babe?

Woo!

[Chorus]

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

Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again

The rising sun just stole my girl away

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

I said the rising sun just stole my girl away

The rising sun just stole my girl away
