A very old friend

Came by today

cause he was telling everyone in town

About the love he just found

And maries the name of his latest flame



He talked and talked

And I heard him say

That she had the longest, blackest hair

The prettiest green eyes anywhere

And maries the name of his latest flame



Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye

He was gone, but still his words kept returning

What else was there for me to do but cry



Would you believe that yesterday

This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

Shed be mine eternally

And maries the name of his latest flame



Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye

He was gone, but still his words kept returning

What else was there for me to do but cry



Would you believe that yesterday

This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

Shed be mine eternally

And maries the name of his latest flame



And maries the name of his latest flame

And maries the name of his latest flame
