I Want A Man To Love Me! 1909 'Old Dutch'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 30 Jan 2004

I don't want to marry a man with gold,
for wealth isn't happiness;
I don't want to marry a man that's old,
and spend his money for dress;
I don't want to marry a rover grey
on the "sauce for the gander" plan;
No, I don't want to marry
any Tom, Dick or Harry,
But I do want to marry a man.

I want a man to love me,
A business man won't do,
I want no sailor clad in white,
nor a soldier boy in blue.
I want a man to love me,
who'll never roam away,
With nothing to do but just be true,
and love all day!

I want a man to love me,
A business man won't do,
I want no sailor clad in white,
nor a soldier boy in blue.
I want a man to love me,
who'll never roam away,
With nothing to do but just be true,
and love all day!

I don't want a man who nervous grows,
when the morning meal is through,
and kissing me hurredly on the nose
says: "Fare thee well, adieu!"
Then never a word, till the twilight falls,
when a telegram greets my sight:
"Oh, I'm very sorry, Hattie,
met some friends from Cincinatti,
and I cannot get home tonight!"

I want a man to love me,
A business man won't do,
I want no sailor clad in white,
nor a soldier boy in blue.
I want a man to love me,
who'll never roam away,
With nothing to do but just be true,
and love all day!

I want a man to love me,
A business man won't do,
I want no sailor clad in white,
nor a soldier boy in blue.
I want a man to love me,
who'll never roam away,
With nothing to do but just be true,
and love all day!
