[Chorus]
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

[Verse 1]
I watched that big white boat go down
Sailing to the sea
And ev'ry time that wheel went around
She was farther away from me

[Verse 2]
She sailed away to another town
I'll never understand
She walked the streets in a yellow gown
Singing, "Who's gonna be my man?"

[Chorus]
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

[Verse 3]
I used to walk by the riverside
Lonesome as I could be
Hoping the boat would come sailing in
Bringing her back to me
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I think my world will end
And I'll have no place to hide
To cry the tears she left with me
And the lonely feeling inside

[Chorus]
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna be her man tonight?
Who's gonna hold her hand?

[Outro]
Who's gonna hold her hand?
Who's gonna hold her hand?
