Corrine Corrina
Chet Atkins Lyrics

The opening lines of Chet Atkins's classic song 'Corrine Corrina' refer to the singer's long-lost love interest, who left him and hasn't been seen or heard from since. The repetition of the question "Where you been so long?" suggests a longing for her return, and hints at the sadness and loneliness that has taken over his life ever since she left. The line "Ain't been no lovin' since you been gone" further emphasizes his sadness, and conveys the idea that his life lost all its spark and color ever since Corrine left.

Despite the absence of Corrina, the singer hasn't given up on his love for her. He proclaims boldly that he loves her, and wants the whole world to know about it. The repetition of the line 'I love Corrina, tell the world I do'a few times in the song shows a deep and unwavering affection for Corrina, irrespective of her not being around.

Overall, the song expresses the universal experience of a loved one losing touch and the feelings of loneliness and longing that follow. But it also talks about the resilience of love and how it can withstand time and separation.
