Where are you going, Miss Tara, Miss Tara?
Where are you going, Miss Tara Joan?
Yesterday when you played
On the swing and the trampoline
You're already thinking
Of a life of your own
And I turned around twice
And you're already gone
Who will you marry, Miss Tara, Miss Tara?
Who will you marry, Miss Tara Joan?
Will he have wealth
And will he have fame?
I'm sure too you're wondering
Just who he will be
Well, that's your decision
It's not up to me
I hope you'll be happy, Miss Tara, Miss Tara
I hope you'll be happy, Miss Tara Joan
And that you will stay with me
Till you're a woman
And wise to the world
Before you're off on your own
You're my last baby girl
And I'll be so alone
