I Believed Her Too 1910

Once I met a little summer girl
and she looked good to me
and she said I looked good to her,
She told me that her father
was as rich, as rich could be
and just how proud
her home folks were,
she told me they expected her
to wed an Earl or Count,
but she confessed
she loved me best,
although her dad would
give up almost any old amount
to buy a crown or crest.

And I believed her too
thought ev'ry word was true
all about her father
having millions but to burn,
that Rockefeller came to him
his system just to learn
and I believed her too,
like anyone would do,
she said 'twould break her heart,
if from me she had to part
and I believed her too.

And I believed her too
thought ev'ry word was true
all about her father
having millions but to burn,
that Rockefeller came to him
his system just to learn
and I believed her too,
like anyone would do,
she said 'twould break her heart,
if from me she had to part
and I believed her too.

Then I met this little summer girl
in winter time in town
and strange to say,
'twas in a store,
she didn't greet me with a smile
but with a wary frown
can you blame me
for getting sore,
I leaned across the ribbon counter
and I whispered
"Miss why workest Thou,
with all thy wealth?"
She said "my Dearest Dear
Papa has recomended this
to keep me in good health."

And I believed her too
thought ev'ry word was true
all about her father
having millions but to burn,
that Rockefeller came to him
his system just to learn
and I believed her too,
like anyone would do,
she said 'twould break her heart,
if from me she had to part
and I believed her too.

And I believed her too
thought ev'ry word was true
all about her father
having millions but to burn,
that Rockefeller came to him
his system just to learn
and I believed her too,
like anyone would do,
she said 'twould break her heart,
if from me she had to part
and I believed her too.
