Nobody Loves Me 1907 'The Tattooed Man'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Feb 2004

I visited the circus once
and after it was through,
I went into the sideshow
as a lot of people do.
As I stood looking at the freaks,
I heard a small boy call:
"Oh Pa, just look at this one,
it's the funniest of all."

Nobody loves me. Nobody loves me.
I was offered first class pay,
if I'd work there by the day,
there I led a simple life,
as the bearded lady's wife,
till at last he ran away,
for nobody loves me.

A burglar once broke in my house,
whilst fast asleep I lay,
He turned his lantern on me,
and then fainted dead away.
A big policeman then came in,
and in a manner rough,
he said: "I'll let this poor man go,
he's suffered quite enough."

Nobody loves me. Nobody loves me.
When I walk through mud and dirt,
and around me draw a skirt,
tho' my ankles are unique,
no man ever turns to peak,
they all look the other way,
'cause nobody loves me.

I heard a youthful millionaire
had saved a young girl's life,
he rescued her from drowning,
she became his wedded wife.
So I jumped in the river, crying:
"Save me or I drown,"
But my young man ran and got a pole;
and pushed me further down.

Nobody loves me. Nobody loves me.
Ever since, so they declare,
there's been no more fishing there.
For the fish just looked at me,
and skidooed way out to sea,
not a lobster cared to stay
'cause nobody loves me.
