Lyrics
- Every time I hear those wedding chimes
Swingin’, singin’, ringin’ happy rhymes
Then I bow my head and weep alone
Prayin’ for the joys I’ve never known
I’ve had a lot of dreams
But all in vain it seems
Just can’t find no one to call my own
Nobody loves me
Refrain
Oh, I’ve got the Weddin’ Blues
Honeymoonin’ Weddin’ Blues
Blues I’ll never lose
For that enticin’ show’r of rice ‘n’ shoes
Every night I weep and moan
Prayin’ all alone
For carnations, invitations
Celebrations, gratulations
Oh, I’ve got the Weddin’ Blues
- Cupid never worries over me
I’m as far from Loveland as can be
Still, I’m sentimental, that is true
Get so weary don’t know what to do
The truth I must confess
I’m out of luck I guess
Lonesome hours to me are nuthin’ new
Nobody loves me
