I was walkin' by my lonesome
Feeling mighty blue
Dreamin' of my baby
My darling Cindy Lou
If she'd love me just a little
I would love her strong
Then I would be happy
Just to tag along

Tag along, tag along
I'm a lonesome lover
I gotta tag along

I been planning and a-sceemin'
Day and nighttime too
How to make her love me
Like she oughta do
She smiles at me so pretty
She listens to my song
When she leaves me singin'
Then I'll just tag along

Tag along, tag along
I'm a lonesome lover
I just must tag along

I says a, tag-tag and a-taggin' along
This is a, tag-tag and a-taggin' along
Rock, tag-tag and taggin' along
Bop, tag-tag and taggin' along
I said a tag-tag, tag along with me

Rock now, tag-tag, taggin' along
Rock, tag-tag, taggin' along
Yeah, tag-tag, taggin' along
Uh-huh, tag-tag, tag along
Ta-a-a-a-a-g along

Well, my friends are all in love with
With my Cindy too
They say she won't have me
No matter what I do
But the other day she kissed me
Now there's nothing wrong
If I keep on hopin'
While I tag along

Tag along, tag along
I'm a lonesome lover
I gotta tag along

I guess I'll tag-tag, tag along
I gotta tag-tag, tag along
Yeah, tag-tag, tag along
I'm gonna tag-tag, tag along
I just ta-a-a-a-a-g along

Yeah, tag-tag, tag along
Uh-huh, tag-tag, tag along
