| A-that's how long that she’s been gone | 
| And that’s a long time | 
| Five days, five days | 
| Since you walked out the door | 
| Won’t you please come home | 
| I couldn’t stand five more | 
| Well the first day after she left me | 
| I laughed and told my friends | 
| That he’d be back before | 
| The sun is settin' low again | 
| Five days, five days | 
| Since you walked out the door | 
| Won’t you please come home | 
| I couldn’t stand five more | 
| Well, the second day after she left me | 
| I started to have my doubts | 
| I wondered if she was comin' back | 
| Really had checked out | 
| Five days, five days | 
| Since you walked out the door | 
| Won’t you please come home | 
| I couldn’t stand five more | 
| (One, two, three, four, five days more) | 
| Well, the third day after she left me | 
| I started to watch the door | 
| Before the day was over | 
| I began to walk the floor | 
| Five days, five days | 
| Since you walked out the door | 
| Won’t you please come home | 
| I couldn’t stand five more | 
| Well the fourth day after she left me | 
| I really began to sweat | 
| She should have been back days ago | 
| But she ain’t got back yet | 
| Five days, five days | 
| Since you walked out the door | 
| Won’t you please come home | 
| I couldn’t stand five more | 
| (One, two, three, four, five days more) |
