Once upon a time
On the road and all in rags,
I met this pretty guy
With the guitar on his back.
When the sun came down,
He asked me for a break -
Out of Kansas City,
At a minikin lake.
He was playing just for me
Famous Country-songs,
Sitting by the fire
I listened all night long.
Soon as the dawn came up,
I kissed him good-bye.
I never saw this guy again -
Still I don't know, why.
Eeeyy - ooohh, Kansas-Joe,
Why did I ever let you go.!?
Eeeyy - ooohh, Kansas-Joe,
Tell me, I don't know!
Eeeyy - ooohh, Kansas-Joe,
You said 'yes'. But I said 'no'.
Eeeyy - ooohh, Kansas-Joe,
I still love you so!
So everyhow I was,
Too blind to see,
This romantic Cowboy
Was just made for me.
Well, I had my chance
Blew it right away.
I hate myself for losing him
Every single day.
Eeeyy - ooohh, Kansas -Joe,
Why did I ever let you go...
He was right, I was wrong –
That's the reason why
I wanna tell him in this song
Sorry I was too shy
Eeeyy - ooohh, Kansas -Joe,
Why did I ever let you go...
