lyrics

You ask me why I'm grieving
I'll tell you why I'm grieving
I'm grieving for the gal that done me wrong
Well gather round and listen
And let this be a lesson
You shouldn't never leave your gal too long

Cause I left her her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
Well I guess she didn't care too much for me
Cause I heard that she was wed
And I wish that I was dead
But the chances are I'll live 'til 93

The bullfrog tried to show me
Just why this gal was roamy
If I should go and leave her by herself
Well I just said you're crazy
That gal of mine's a daisy
But now she's gone and put me on the shelf

Oh I left her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
About the night I thought she’d be my bride
But when I got out of sight
Oh she didn't miss a night
Til someone else was a sitting by her side

If you think this song is silly
Go right ahead and laugh
But the heart in this hillbilly is busted right in half
Cause I left her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care too much for me

When she said goodbye she whispered
"You know I love you best"
And I'll bet two bucks she'll whisper
The same to all the rest
But I left her standing there
With a do-dad in her hair
But I guess she didn't care too much for me

Squinkly bing bong shaking at the knees
Willow trees are quaky just a-bendin’ in the breeze
Tickle me tulip you’re a flower in the crown
I liked the way it sounded when you did it upside down
Rubber band snap and a clippity clap
Did you hear what happened Alli when I tipped my hat?

If you follow your glee to the sycamore tree
You just might find a rabbit in the willowy snee ... more
