The sheet music:
Lyrics
- Don’t sigh girlie, don’t be so sad
Don’t cry girlie, I’ll make you glad
I know I stole your loving man away
But I’m going to give him back to you today
Read this letter, that’s why I’m blue
You feel better, I know you do
Your man broke my heart
When we had to part
He loves nobody but you
Chorus
You’ll get the same old kiss
That used to bring you bliss
You’ll get the same old hug
From your kissing bug
You’ll hear the same man knocking
At your old front door
You’ll get the same old loving
And then some more
You’ll get the same old picture
That he gave to me
You’ll also get my sympathy
So, weep no more my lady
You just dress in your best
I’ll do the rest
Because I won’t take your loving man away
- Please don’t scold me, I’m not to blame
Your man told me, he’d change my name
I even made myself a wedding dress
But I’ll have to tear it up again, I guess
When I meet him, I’ll pass him by
I won’t greet him, then he’ll know why
If he swears that he will come back to me
I’ll say he’d better not try
