Lyrics

1. A pretty little maiden
   And her dandy little beau
   Were seated in a parlor
   Where the lights were burning low
   She whispered do you love me
   As she slowly turned her head
   He knew that she was jealous
   And to her he said

Chorus
What’s the use of loving you
When you don’t love me
What’s the use of saying
When we’re married, dear
How happy we could be
I could find another girl to love me
If you’d set my poor heart free
So what’s the use of loving you
When you don’t love me

2. The little maid grew angry
   For she’d always been so true
   And though she didn’t tell him
   She decided what to do
   Next day she sent this letter
   I have found another beau
   You needn’t call to see me
   for you have no show
