I used to be as happy as the dickies on the trees That's when I was courting and my mind was well at ease I used to feel so loving with ‘En'ry by my side Looking forward to the day when I should be his bride But now he's thrown me over and I'm full of misery Someone else has done me out of William ‘Enery.
Chorus: He used to come and court his little Mary Ann I used to think that he was my young man But Mother caught his eye And they got married on the sly Now I have to call him Father.
He used to call me “Dreamy-eyes” and take me on his knee Kiss my little ruby lips and make a fuss of me He'd bought a second handed home to comfort me through life Now he's thrown me over for a second handed wife And on the wedding day when he was married to mamma He said, “Go wash your face and kiss your new papa.”
Chorus:
When I got home this afternoon it broke my heart to see William cuddling Mother as he used to cuddle me At ten o clock last night I felt I'd like to punch his head When he said to me, "Pop off, its time to go to bed” The next young man I get I'll let him see me to the door But I'll never introduce one to my Mother any more. ========================= Written and composed by Charles Collins and Fred Godfrey Performed by Vesta Victoria (1874-1951)Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
