1st verse:]

Kindly stop that music from playing, "Oh Promise Me"

Because it makes me sad, so sad

It brings back to my memory

Years and years of misery

Thoughts of one who promised me

A love I thought I had



[chorus:]

He promised me that someday he would marry me

He promised me a beautiful home

One down by the sea

He promised that he'd pay

For the wedding day

On the first of May

Then he moved away, and all he left

Were the promises he promised me



[2nd verse:]

Sealskins, autos, dresses and diamonds he promised me

And told me that someday he'd pay

My ringless fingers know he's gone

All my rings he put in pawn

Even took the tickets on

The day he moved away
