Only Me Knows Why 1929

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 May 2004

Lis't to my song, won't take you long,
I'm feeling oh, so blue,
I can't feel glad, I feel so sad,
This tale I'll tell to you.

My girl don't love me
and only me knows why.
She used to love me,
and only me knows why.
I met her at a party,
sat next to her at tea
I was just a flower,
she was the bumble bee.
Oh! How she stung me,
and only me knows why.

My girl don't love me
and only me knows why.
She used to love me,
and only me knows why.
All the local folk were there
upon our wedding day,
I placed the ring upon her hand,
then heard the best man say:
"She is no lady,
and only me knows why!"

Some folks like walks,
some folks like talks,
some folks they learn to fly,
but I like girls,
with golden curls.
that's why you hear me sigh.

My girl don't love me
and only me knows why.
She used to love me,
and only me knows why.
I met her at a party,
sat next to her at tea
I was just a flower,
she was the bumble bee.
Oh! How she stung me,
and only me knows why.

My girl don't love me
and only me knows why.
She used to love me,
and only me knows why.
All the local folk were there
upon our wedding day,
I placed the ring upon her hand,
then heard the best man say:
"She is no lady,
and only me knows why!"
