Here Comes the Bride 1912

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Aug 2005

Hear those church bells a ringing.
Hear that choir a singing.
That's why I'm sad
that's why I'm mad
there's nobody to hear me
there's nobody to cheer me.
Someone stole my man away,
on this my wedding day,
now I'm left in the lurch
'cause when I got to that church

I saw my angel chile
a marching down the aisle,
upon his face he wore a smile,
while I cried as if my heart was going to break
when I thought of who
was goin' to eat that wedding cake,
and when the preacher man
took the wedding band
and placed it on that woman's hand.
I started in to pray
and then I heard the organ play;
Here comes the bride,
here comes the bride,
the girl who stole my lover man away.

I saw my angel chile
a marching down the aisle,
upon his face he wore a smile,
while I cried as if my heart was going to break
when I thought of who
was goin' to eat that wedding cake,
and when the preacher man
took the wedding band
and placed it on that woman's hand.
I started in to pray
and then I heard the organ play;
Here comes the bride,
here comes the bride,
the girl who stole my lover man away.

When that man was near dying,
I just sat there crying,
I pawned my rings
to buy him things,
oh how that man did pet me,
said he'd never forget me,
but this promise wasn't good,
I'd sue him if I could,
but there's no use to sigh,
I just wish that I could die.

I saw my angel chile
a marching down the aisle,
upon his face he wore a smile,
while I cried as if my heart was going to break
when I thought of who
was goin' to eat that wedding cake,
and when the preacher man
took the wedding band
and placed it on that woman's hand.
I started in to pray
and then I heard the organ play;
Here comes the bride,
here comes the bride,
the girl who stole my lover man away.

and placed it on that woman's hand.
I started in to pray
and then I heard the organ play;
Here comes the bride,
here comes the bride,
the girl who stole my lover man away.
