Lonesome Johnnie Warner
sitting in a corner
of a swell café,
eating his heart away
because he had no girl.
At another table,
sat a girl named Mable
with a fellow who Johnnie knew,
and his brain began to whirl,
the girl had caught his eye
and John began to cry.

Where did you get that girl?
Oh! You lucky devil.
Where did you get that girl?
Tell me on the level.
Have you ever kissed her,
if she has a sister
lead me, lead me,
lead me to her mister.
Gee! I wish that I had a girl
I'd love 'er
I'd love 'er
Oh goodness how I'd love 'er
if you can find another,
I'll take her home to mother,
Where! Where!
Where did you get that girl?

Where did you get that girl?
Oh! You lucky devil.
Where did you get that girl?
Tell me on the level.
Have you ever kissed her,
if she has a sister
lead me, lead me,
lead me to her mister.
Gee! I wish that I had a girl
I'd love 'er
I'd love 'er
Oh goodness how I'd love 'er
if she's here long I'm liable
to give away my Bible,
Where! Where!
Where did you get that girl?

Johnnie found a corker,
started in to walk her down the avenue.
Down to the parson who would
make them man and wife,
Parson Lee received him,
and when he relieved him
of the marriage fee.
Parson Lee said never in my life,
have I seen such a miss
say Johnnie tell me this.

Where did you get that girl?
Oh! You lucky devil.
Where did you get that girl?
Tell me on the level.
Have you ever kissed her,
if she has a sister
lead me, lead me,
lead me to her mister.
Gee! I wish that I had a girl
I'd love 'er
I'd love 'er
Oh goodness how I'd love 'er
if you can find another,
I'll take her home to mother,
Where! Where!
Where did you get that girl?

Where did you get that girl?
Oh! You lucky devil.
Where did you get that girl?
Tell me on the level.
Have you ever kissed her,
if she has a sister
lead me, lead me,
lead me to her mister.
Gee! I wish that I had a girl
I'd love 'er
I'd love 'er
Oh goodness how I'd love 'er
if she's here long I'm liable
to give away my Bible,
Where! Where!
Where did you get that girl?
