The sheet music:
Lyrics
You remember Nathan, who treated me so rotten
What did I get for waitin’, for waitin’ I got nottin’
I feel so bad, but he don’t care
I’m a rag, a bone, and a hunk of hair
My folks all laugh because they say a fool I was
When I ask Nathan when we’re goin’ to wed
He tells me he can’t think that far ahead
Chorus:
Oh! how I hate that feller Nathan
Oh! how he used to keep me waitin’
When he first went with me
He had such wigor and such wim
But now my sitting on his lap
Don’t mean a thing to him
Oh! I’ll sue him for breach of promise
But I don’t remember what he promised to do
For my engagement he gave me a stone that I should wear
He said “It’s not a diamond
But you know the thought is there”
Oh! how I hate that fellow Nathan
And I’ll bring my children up to hate him, too
