Lyrics
Oh Ellie Lou, oh Ellie Lou,
Why did you go ?
What did you do ?
You left me there in Charleston.
My darlin’, how I cried.
Then you came back to Charlesto
As someone else’s bride.

We were so happy in Charleston town,
Watching the evening moon go down.
You, the prettiest girl around,
I, the proudest of men in town.

Oh Ellie Lou, oh Ellie Lou,
Why did you go ?
What did you do ?
You left me there in Charleston.
You hurt me deep inside.
Then you came back to Charleston
As someone else’s bride.

Looked in the restaurants known to us,
Searched on the train and on the bus,
It was my curiosity,
Who you married instead of me.

Oh Ellie Lou, oh Ellie Lou,
Why did you go ?
What did you do ?
You left me there in Charleston,
And something in me died
When you came back to Charleston
As someone else’s bride.
Oh Ellie Lou.
