| 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) |
