Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- There’s just one girl I call my sweetheart
For just one girl I’d buy the ring
When you see her you’ll know
Just why I love her so
And why I’m always singing
Chorus
An old fashioned girl in a gingham gown
Has stolen my heart away
An old fashioned girl in my old home town
Promised to love and obey
She’s mighty like my Mother
I never thought I’d find another
Old fashioned girl in a gingham gown
And she stole my heart away
- There’ll be a good old fashioned wedding
Old fashioned wedding bells will ring
When we walk down the aisle
You will know by my smile
That in my heart I’m singing
Sung here by Fred Feild:
