He Promised Me 1911

Kindly stop that music from playing,
Oh, promise me because it makes me sad,
so sad, it brings back to my memory,
years and years of misery,
thoughts of one who promised me,
a love I thought I had,

He promised me that some day
he would marry me,
he promised me a beautiful home,
One down by the sea,
he promised that he'd pay
for the wedding day,
on the first of May
then he moved away,
and all he left, were
the promises he promised me.

He promised me that some day
he would marry me,
he promised me a beautiful home,
One down by the sea,
he promised that he'd pay
for the wedding day,
on the first of May
then he moved away,
and all he left, were
the promises he promised me.

Seal skins, autos, dresses and diamonds
he promised me,
and told me that some day he'd pay,
my ringless fingers know he's gone,
all my rings he put in pawn,
even took the tickets on
the day he moved away.

He promised me that some day
he would marry me,
he promised me a beautiful home,
One down by the sea,
he promised that he'd pay
for the wedding day,
on the first of May
then he moved away,
and all he left, were
the promises he promised me.

He promised me that some day
he would marry me,
he promised me a beautiful home,
One down by the sea,
he promised that he'd pay
for the wedding day,
on the first of May
then he moved away,
and all he left, were
the promises he promised me.
