Alberta, Alberta where you been so long?
Alberta, Alberta where you been so long?
Ain't been no loving since you been gone

Tell me Alberta, where you stay last night?
Tell me Alberta, where you stay last night?
Come home this morning, sun was shining bright

Tell me Alberta (sic), tell her to hurry home
If you see Alberta, tell her to hurry home
Haven't been no loving since she been gone

Alberta, Alberta what you going to do?
Alberta, Alberta what you going to do?
Just a little bit of loving, let your heart be true

I met Alberta way across the sea
I met Alberta way across the sea
She wouldn't write me no letter, she didn't care for me

Alberta, Alberta be a pal of mine
Alberta, Alberta be a pal of mine
Now you left me walking, tears rolling and crying

Goodbye Alberta, it's fare you well
Goodbye Alberta, it's fare you well
When I'll get back here, can't anyone tell

I love Alberta, tell the world I do
I love Alberta, tell the world I do
Just a little bit of loving, let your heart be true
