Lyrics:
so and I was faithful
I cared more than words could say
But love is cruel and life is hateful
Now you've gone and flown away
Oh, to die, 'Twould be
I could hear my mother pray again.
If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice as then!
So happy I would be 'twould mean
as then!
So happy I would be 'twould mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely,
cnd always walk
nailed on with glue
There were caraway seeds in abundance
Sure t'would work up a fine stomach ache
Ah t'would kill a man twice after atin' a slice
[Chorus]
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years
I once had a sweetheart,
drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I
You said goodbye and left me broken hearted,
You little knew the pain 'twould cause to me,
Those days we shared, sweetheart can never be forgotten,
Burl Ives - I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes
'Twould been better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never met,
But
[Chorus]
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years
I once had a sweetheart,
If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet
Your fate, dear,
'Twould be the great
Event of nineteen twenty eight,
Dear!
Let's misbehave!
Let's
drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I
smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I hired, wages I required,
I was almost tired
awfully mad
'Twould be known near and far
To be a little "who's-this" isn't really bad
For some of my best friends are
If not for the family
Make
drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I
Let's misbehave!
If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet
Your fate, dear,
'Twould be the great
Event of nineteen twenty eight,
Dear!

I've had my way with so many girls
And it was lots of fun
My system was to know many girls
'Twould keep me safe from one
I find it can't be done
My
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I hired, wages I required,
I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.
One,
Let's misbehave!
If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet
Your fate, dear,
'Twould be the great
Event of nineteen twenty eight,
Dear!
(scat)
I'd look your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
An' asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Till I was nearly tired
Let's misbehave!
If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet
Your fate, dear,
'Twould be the great
Event of nineteen twenty eight,
Dear!
(scat)
on for drinking.?To see the lasses smile,
Laughing all the while,?At my curious style,
'Twould set your heart a bubblin'.?Asked me was I was hired,
prowess less-ness-less-ness
'Twould be hard to overstate,
For we are the king of the boudoir it's true and the king doesn't like to wait.
One kiss from
smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I hired, wages I required,
I was almost tired
