Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video Del Shannon performing "Runaway" in 1961. The image of the women dancing around his platform is definitely an early 1960's phenomenon.

"Runaway" written by Del Shannon and keyboardist Max Crook,
Lyrics
"As I walk along, I wonder
A-what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

And as I still walk on, I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away

And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away

And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway"

Didn’t need the music or singing... it was there and I read the lyrics .
You read the. And it’s actually quite brief, just the same verse twice..
I was 8 when this came out. Stayed at Grandma’s (Mom’s
Mom). and it was pretty much
Mariachi music .. I wasn’t much into that, because I understood few words !... she played a lot of it when she could.. when it came time to turn it over or change records it was me that had to wash my hands and flip the record or change it. That was a long rainy Saturday.
