"Oh Dear Me" lyrics

"Oh Dear Me"

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
But she proved untrue and she left without a warning
We swore we'll love forever, together to the end
But oh dear me, I will never love again

Once I had an English girl, from Liverpool came she
So proper and so charming, sure she meant the world to me
Oh, when she drank a gin or two, she had a rovin' eye
For soldier boys or Caesar lads or anyone forby

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
But she proved untrue and she left without a warning
We swore we'll love forever, together to the end
But oh dear me, I will never love again

Next, I had a Scottish girl, she came frae Aberdeen
She was the bonniest lassie boys that I have ever seen
We rode around the heather, and the wedding bells did ring
But she let me at the altar and went off on a highland fling

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
But she proved untrue and she left without a warning
We swore we'll love forever, together to the end
But oh dear me, I will never love again

Then I had a Yankee girl, she came from Baltimore
She taught me well and showed me things I've never seen before
She loved to live the high life and we lived it night and day
But when my money was all spent she went upon her way

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
But she proved untrue and she left without a warning
We swore we'll love forever, together to the end
But oh dear me, I will never love again

Well, now I have an Irish girl, from Belfast town she comes
She nags me and she plagues me and she has me 'neath her thumb
For five long years we're married though it seems like plenty more
But still and all I'd miss her boys if she walked out the door

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
But she proved untrue and she left without a warning
We swore we'll love forever, together to the end
But oh dear me, I will never love again

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling
But she proved untrue and she left without a warning
We swore we'll love forever, together to the end
But oh dear me, I will never love again
