Lyrics
You said that you loved me
But it wasn’t long till I found
That you had me riding
A broken-down merry-go-round
Sweet kisses you gave me
But soon it was all over town
That you had me riding
A broken-down merry-go-round
You told me that you would always be near
Love me my dear thru sorrow and tears
But all I’ve left is a brass souvenir
Instead of a ring made of gold
My poor heart is breaking
You’ve made me a fool and a clown
For you had me riding
A riding broken-down merry-go-round
