Telling Lies 1910

Moon was slyly peeping from above,
on a summer's night,
Sally Brown and Joe were making love,
'neath the pale moonlight,
Sally said: "I think I'd better go."
As she rolled her eyes,
but foxy little Joe said:
"There's a game I know called telling lies."

Telling lies, telling lies,
Say you never used to be,
near to me, dear to me,
Telling lies, close your eyes,
then a kiss or two I'll steal
and give them back to you,
while telling lies.

Telling lies, telling lies,
Say you never used to be,
near to me, dear to me,
Telling lies, close your eyes,
then a kiss or two I'll steal
and give them back to you,
while telling lies.

Little Sally Brown and Joe were wed,
she became his bride,
"I will never marry you," she said,
then the knot was tied,
ev'ry morn he kisses her goodbye,
leaves her all alone,
but 'fore he goes away,
these words he'll always say:
"I won't come home."

Telling lies, telling lies,
Say you never used to be,
near to me, dear to me,
Telling lies, close your eyes,
then a kiss or two I'll steal
and give them back to you,
while telling lies.

Telling lies, telling lies,
Say you never used to be,
near to me, dear to me,
Telling lies, close your eyes,
then a kiss or two I'll steal
and give them back to you,
while telling lies.
