From Me To Mandy Lee 1917

I've got a little piece of string
it's just the measure of a ring,
that is for my bride
and engraved inside:
"From me to Mandy Lee."
It's goin' to cause a big surprise
the folks will open up their eyes,
they don't know a thing
of what I'm goin' to bring.

And when I show them the band
that I bought for the hand
of Mandy Lee,
There'll be talk around the family,
Lordy how they all will envy me.
I'll get a kiss from my mother
and a blessing from my dad.
Neighbours by the score
knockin' at the door,
maybe I won't be mighty glad,
and then I'll pray night and day
for the one happy day
that's coming soon,
when they play that old familiar tune,
it's the one that means a honeymoon,
then there'll be rice all over Dixieland.
When that ever loving Parson hands
the wedding band from Me to Mandy Lee.

And when I show them the band
that I bought for the hand
of Mandy Lee,
There'll be talk around the family,
Lordy how they all will envy me.
I'll get a kiss from my mother
and a blessing from my dad.
Neighbours by the score
knockin' at the door,
maybe I won't be mighty glad,
and then I'll pray night and day
for the one happy day
that's coming soon,
when they play that old familiar tune,
it's the one that means a honeymoon,
then there'll be rice all over Dixieland.
When that ever loving Parson hands
the wedding band from Me to Mandy Lee.

Upon each face there'll be a smile
as we go marching down the aisle,
ev'ry one will stare at a happy pair
"From me to Mandy Lee."
Around us two
the folks will crowd,
I know I surely will be proud,
try and picture me
how happy I will be.

And when I show them the band
that I bought for the hand
of Mandy Lee,
There'll be talk around the family,
Lordy how they all will envy me.
I'll get a kiss from my mother
and a blessing from my dad.
